The Colony of Object 26 is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 774 million Object 26ians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The all-consuming Object 26ian economy, worth 67.9 trillion Times a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 87,674 Times, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 547,277 per year while the poor average 5,986, a ratio of 91.4 to 1.

T-shirts displaying a photo of Leader performing the Full-Monty are selling out, people often complain that they're going in circuitous routes all the time, the government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs, and multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Object 26's national animal is the Object 9, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Object 26 is ranked 215,908th in the world and 9,303rd in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 774 million capita.
