The Colony of Big Foot is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.23 billion Big Footians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The strong Big Footian economy, worth 242 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is 57,431 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 370,148 per year while the poor average 3,600, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Big Foot's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Big Foot is ranked 241,215^th in the world and 1^st in Big Foot for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
