The Matriarchy of That reborn place is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.585 billion That reborn placeans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 51.0%.

The frighteningly efficient That reborn placean economy, worth 336 trillion diamonds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Tourism, Soda Sales, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 130,274 diamonds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, senior executives have become freelance basket-weavers in search of less stress and better work-life balance, immigrants are asked to leave their cultural traditions and pride at the border, and a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. That reborn place's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Sacrificial Altar.

That reborn place is ranked 22,589th in the world and 13th in Philosophers for Most Corrupt Governments, with 91.64 kickbacks per hour.
