The Jingoistic States of The Entropy is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Daily Lotto Winner with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.623 billion Entropyians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mr Happy's Funland. The average income tax rate is 37.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Entropyian economy, worth 246 trillion hugs 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 large, well-organized black market in Tourism, Gambling, Uranium Mining, 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 37,253 hugs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Senior executives have become freelance basket-weavers in search of less stress and better work-life balance, tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult', family bonding sessions are considered immoral and are banned, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. The Entropy's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Chaos.

The Entropy is ranked 265,390th in the world and 4,751st in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 13.15490130308 days.
