The Medicine Cabinet of THX1138 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by bowloftoast with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 24.714 billion THX1138sters enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lucas. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient THX1138ian economy, worth a remarkable 8,601 trillion Clangs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 348,059 Clangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, and there's never enough space in space. Crime is totally unknown. THX1138's national animal is the Cuttlefish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is A Healthy Lack Thereof.

THX1138 is ranked 381^st in the world and 1^st in Schopenhauer for Nicest Citizens, with 161.15 average smiles per day.
