The __ of Nothingg is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Captain Morgan with an iron fist, and notable for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 13.114 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Social Equality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rum City. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Information Technology.

All news sources are under strict government control, vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam, government officials across Nothingg are being "encouraged" to adopt Purple Hippos to set an example for the populace, and the internet has been placed under government control. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nothingg's national animal is the Purple Hippo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Athiest, and its currency is the gold coin.

Nothingg is ranked 2nd in United States and 3,312th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 29 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
