The Possibly Satirical Spaceball of Kerosene Cucumbers is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by President Skroob with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.122 billion Spaceballs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spaceball. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Spaceballian economy, worth 511 trillion belt dimes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 163,961 belt dimes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Penny whistles have been rebranded 'tin hornpipes', highway signs instruct travelers to yodel for help in case of emergency, oxygen is commonly known as 'breathinium', and city-dwellers are forcibly moved to farming communes in the countryside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kerosene Cucumbers's national animal is the secured zoo animals, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Schwartz.

Kerosene Cucumbers is ranked 13,531^st in the world and 2^nd in Alesia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 37,581.15 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
