The Oppressed Peoples of Psycholinguists is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Michael Tomasello with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.572 billion Psycholinguists 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Broca's Area. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Psycholinguist economy, worth 749 trillion Tokens a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 114,063 Tokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales, class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, a ban on robots in disguise has transformed the entertainment industry, and restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Psycholinguists's national animal is the Chimpanzee, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Psycholinguists is ranked 61,770th in the world and 74th in Yggdrasil for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
