Location: The Region of Rage

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Six Caucasians of The Undead Army is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by J-Dogg with an even hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.06 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Social Equality, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The City of Glory. Income tax is unheard of. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

Colleges adhere to rigid ethnic quotas for admissions, much of The Undead Army's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, sex offenders find themselves 'cut off' from any ability to repeat their crimes, and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. The Undead Army's national animal is the Young, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Partying, and its currency is the Bullet.

The Undead Army is ranked 2nd in The Region of Rage and 10,107th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -5 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
