The III of III is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, avowedly heterosexual populace, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.264 billion IIIians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 43.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient IIIian economy, worth a remarkable 1,726 trillion Golds 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. 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 121,011 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine, childish pranks are no laughing matter, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, and the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. III's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

III is ranked 57,650^th in the world and 3,538^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
