The Dictatorship of Big Ounce is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 431 million hustlers 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 relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.0%.

The very strong Pimpin' economy, worth 25.3 trillion Whoppers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 58,800 Whoppers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 182,751 per year while the poor average 14,553, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Big Ounce's national animal is the Chicken Nugget, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Big Ounce is ranked 29,453^rd in the world and 99^th in Ambition for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,495.83 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
