The Incorporated States of The Last Issue is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Barry White with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 37.318 billion Last Issueans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Last Issuean economy, worth a remarkable 6,687 trillion Barries a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 179,216 Barries, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tours to see the 'wild men of the mountains' are popular with tourists from the big cities, all footpaths have tollbooths, imprisonment is the leading cause of disownment, and The Last Issue has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Last Issue's national animal is the White, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is T S O P.

The Last Issue is ranked 305,943rd in the world and 13th in Wyndia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
