The Architeuthis Dux of Cthonian Wasteland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Armaitus Syn with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 22.861 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. 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, Information Technology, and Book Publishing industries.

The Cthonian Wasteland Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, seafood restaurants assure customers 'If it lives in the sea, it's on our menu', and citizens must pay to enjoy Cthonian Wasteland's pristine beaches. Crime 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 75th in Wysteria and 37,749th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 22 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
