The United Socialist States of Singularity-36 is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Scorpion population. The hard-working population of 1.066 billion Singularity-36ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.3%.

The Singularity-36ian economy, worth 42.9 trillion Deneroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 40,232 Deneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Singularity-36's national animal is the Scorpion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Singularity-36 is ranked 253,826^th in the world and 13,423^rd in Lazarus for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,575.96 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
