The Nomadic Peoples of Boulder of Sisyphus is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sisyphus with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.91 billion Boulder of Sisyphusians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boulder of Sisyphusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,280 trillion denarii 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. 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 161,838 denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Boulder of Sisyphusians any less frightened, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', and most people attending churches are maintenance workers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boulder of Sisyphus's national animal is the devil, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hellenism.

Boulder of Sisyphus is ranked 102,547^th in the world and 126^th in Sophia for Nudest, with 166.5 cheeks per square mile.
