The Republic of Consul153 is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 302 million Consul153ians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.3%.

The sizeable but inefficient Consul153ian economy, worth 14.0 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,192 deniers, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

The average video game can be completed over lunch break, cities in Consul153 declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, and public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Consul153's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Consul153 is ranked 122,279^th in the world and 78^th in Lower Llobregat for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,890.83 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
