The 30 of ------------------------------ is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its closed borders, deadly medical pandemics, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 26.725 billion ------------------------------ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of All good People. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient ------------------------------ian economy, worth a remarkable 6,165 trillion 30s a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 230,691 30s, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,141,985 per year while the poor average 2,314, a ratio of 925 to 1.

Cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, hammering a nail into a wall is an effective death sentence, industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, and mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. ------------------------------'s national animal is the 30, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

------------------------------ is ranked 17,172nd in the world and 980th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 96 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
