The Cyborg Operative of Billy Kid is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, unlimited-speed roads, and soft-spoken computers. The cynical, devout population of 8.981 billion Billy Kidians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 30.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Billy Kidian economy, worth 465 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 51,796 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, convicted crypto-miners are sent to the salt mines, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, and signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Billy Kid's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Billy Kid is ranked 7,121st in the world and 23rd in Remembrance for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,184.36 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
