The Smoking Rubble of A Bombed-Out Crater is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 726 million Crater-dwellers 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, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of An Especially Large Pile of Rubble. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Craterese economy, worth 78.8 trillion cases of cartridges a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,507 cases of cartridges, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Bombed-Out Crater's national animal is the radscorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

A Bombed-Out Crater is ranked 22,562^nd in the world and 648^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,660.73 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
