The People's Republic of Common8 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Tate with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.06 billion Common8ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Anne. The average income tax rate is 50.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Common8ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,405 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 116,575 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Buildings are experiencing some new ten-ants, auditors are gutting every governmental department, companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave, and middle management darts to the playground after board meetings. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Common8's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Common8 is ranked 181,699^th in the world and 6^th in Common Storage for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 319.09 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
