The 26 of -------------------------- is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Bert d'Holomeus de Riemstagrad with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 26.924 billion Tsjk are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Education, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riemstagrad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Tsjk economy, worth a remarkable 5,992 trillion 26s a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 222,588 26s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 717,071 per year while the poor average 52,294, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, schools offer a range of lessons in subjects as diverse as The Economics of Bullying for Lunch Money, political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, and crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. --------------------------'s national animal is the 26, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Heavy Metal.

-------------------------- is ranked 1,328th in the world and 96th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 9,508.53 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
