The Unfriendly Oligarchy of Censorland is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Oliver Orwell with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.929 billion Censorlandians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sullen Outpost. The average income tax rate is 53.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Censorlandian economy, worth 227 trillion Morganites 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. 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 28,569 Morganites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, and the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Censorland's national animal is the Dark Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Violetism.

Censorland is ranked 330,228th in the world and 9th in Wind of Spirits in Exile for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -12.2 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
