The Armed Republic of 310 Ohms is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.714 billion electrical engineers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Electricity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.1%.

The powerhouse resistive economy, worth 295 trillion watts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,707 watts, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Sex changes are routinely performed at 310 Ohms's hospitals, corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, and liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. 310 Ohms's national animal is the resistor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

310 Ohms is ranked 135,800^th in the world and 761^st in Teal Nation for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 31.14 Effective Tax Rate.
