The Missing Whole of Left Butt Cheek is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its hatred of cheese, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 26.66 billion Butts enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of a very Special Place. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Left Butt economy, worth a remarkable 4,902 trillion poops 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Gambling. 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 an impressive 183,871 poops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, calling out of the blue has become taboo, teachers label difficult children as "somebody else's problem" before expelling them, and the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Left Butt Cheek's national animal is the Wild Diarrhoea Monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Left Butt Cheek is ranked 308,752^nd in the world and 19^th in Mordor for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -27.91 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
