The Republic of Comb Island is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, public floggings, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.996 billion Comb Islandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 60.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Comb Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,704 trillion Dollars 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. 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 142,122 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Parole hearings come with a complimentary ten-year extension, citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, art is not complete without a touch of alizarin blood and titanium sweat, and domestic fishermen fly the Comb Islandian flag out of fear of being blown up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Comb Island's national animal is the Sand Burd, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Comb Island is ranked 48,662^nd in the world and 213^th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,996.24 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
