The Power of Critical Thought is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 45.223 billion Critical Thoughtians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 48.8%.

The Critical Thoughtian economy, worth a remarkable 1,706 trillion eurekas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 37,738 eurekas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, the government is avowedly atheist, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Critical Thought's national animal is the red herring, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Critical Thought is ranked 1^st in the world and 1^st in Science for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
