The Republic of Right now- is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, devout population of 3.126 billion Right now-ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.0%.

The strong Right now-ian economy, worth 200 trillion good riddances 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. 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 64,010 good riddances, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 214,471 per year while the poor average 14,189, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

Saying that someone looks a bit pale can be construed as hate speech, aides are afraid to ask if Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, and money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Right now-'s national animal is the good riddance, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Right now- is ranked 278,432^nd in the world and 2^nd in Hilo for Most Cultured, scoring 57 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
