The Theoretical Liberty of Willing Ignorance is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Anne Capp with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, ubiquitous missile silos, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.563 billion ignorant are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spencerville. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient ignorant economy, worth a remarkable 5,176 trillion bonds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 490,064 bonds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,848,042 per year while the poor average 15,604, a ratio of 246 to 1.

Hammering a nail into a wall is an effective death sentence, new homeowners go furniture hunting with crowbars, people feel the most alone when among peers, and police officers have been re-kitted with designer uniforms and gold-plated handcuffs. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Willing Ignorance's national animal is the koala, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nepotism.

Willing Ignorance is ranked 496^th in the world and 14^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 149.02 flags saluted per person per day.
