The Here Come The Drums of I Am The Master is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 21.686 billion I Am The Masterians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The very strong I Am The Masterian economy, worth 696 trillion Chameleon Arches a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 32,098 Chameleon Arches, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,230 per year while the poor average 1,724, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, all recreational drugs are legal, organ donation is compulsory, and the country is preparing for war.
