The United States of Billingtor is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 940 million Billingtorians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sannhet. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The thriving Billingtorian economy, worth 81.0 trillion coins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. Average income is 86,149 coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 383,372 per year while the poor average 12,048, a ratio of 31.8 to 1.

All government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Sannhet, owning a tractor is widely regarded as an essential prerequisite to most government positions, Big Belly is watching you, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Billingtor's national animal is the Crow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Billingtor is ranked 250,118^th in the world and 157^th in Fifth Empire for Largest Populations, with 940 million capita.
