The Republic of Consul88 is a very large, genial nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and national health service. The compassionate population of 364 million Consul88ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Consul88ian economy, worth 14.5 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,891 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Calling dibs is an unalienable right, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Consul88's national animal is the squirrel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
