It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coolsvile. The average income tax rate is 63%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

CDs are regularly copy-protected, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, and the rich are forced to sell their cars to pay for more police to prevent their cars from being stolen. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Awesomepolis's national animal is the Radioactive Assasin Spider, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Epicdollar.
