The Floof of The X-8 Research Center is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Floof with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.965 billion Americans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salt Lake City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.3%.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth 443 trillion United States Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 149,428 United States Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 499,838 per year while the poor average 33,206, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

Punting clubs and posh accents have been added to the national curriculum, major internet servers have acquired citizenship, the government is encouraging violence on television, and tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The X-8 Research Center's national animal is the Lobotomite, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Technocrat Worship.

The X-8 Research Center is ranked 230,331^st in the world and 3,233^rd in the South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 8.32 Obesity Rate.
