The very strong entrepreneurial economy, worth 203 trillion tiny classified ads a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 50,138 tiny classified ads, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is reigning in public spending, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Don Lapre's national animal is the US Attorney for the District of Arizona, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
