The Republic of Consul151 is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its parental licensing program, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 277 million Consul151ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Consul151ian economy, worth 10.0 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 36,126 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Consul151's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Consul151 is ranked 69,959th in the world and 36th in Lower Llobregat for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,461.13 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
