The Out of their skull marsupial of THE KANGAROO is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by El Presidente Kanga with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 21.089 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

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 Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bouncy Castle. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology.

Skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, people regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed, euthanasia is legal, and the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. THE KANGAROO's national animal is the Conifer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is The Marsupial Free Church, and its currency is the fried fruitbat.

THE KANGAROO is ranked 2nd in Celtic warrior and 6,289th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 35 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
