The Architeuthis Dux of Cthonian Wasteland is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Armaitus Syn with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 20.641 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Imboca. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology industries.

Voting is compulsory, photographers have to apply for a license to photograph Armaitus Syn, drunk drivers are sentenced to death, and the government is spending billions of taxpayer szlotaks to support the Automobile Manufacturing industry. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cthonian Wasteland's national animal is the Plush Cthulhu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Worship of the Elder Gods, and its currency is the szlotak.

Cthonian Wasteland is ranked 19th in Wysteria and 178th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 20 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
