The ''Democratic'' Republic of Problemo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Senor Muchos Problemos with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.526 billion Problems are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Problemopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.5%.

The powerhouse Problematic economy, worth a remarkable 1,013 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 87,910 Pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 281,061 per year while the poor average 20,884, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

The government is spending millions on lawyers' fees trying to get Senor Muchos Problemos off a murder charge, it is widely believed that the first citizen of Problemo was called 'Wild-eyed Daddy-O', soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, and penal labor is a de facto death sentence. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem. Problemo's national animal is the big problemo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Nil.

Problemo is ranked 67,618^th in the world and 82^nd in Barbaria for Most Conservative, scoring 51.77 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
