The People's Republic of 1 000 000 000 is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 50 million Protohumans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 23.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong 1 000 000 000ian economy, worth 2.53 trillion Eddies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 50,682 Eddies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, and bitter pastors forced to officiate gay marriage 'accidentally' pronounce couples "husband and abomination". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1 000 000 000's national animal is the T-Rex, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

1 000 000 000 is ranked 46,230^th in the world and 1,482^nd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 158.11 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
