The Overwhelming Trauma of Thought Obliteration is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by an Unknown Hostile Force with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, soft-spoken computers, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.004 billion helpless victims are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of TM001313. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient dehumanizing economy, worth a remarkable 3,765 trillion Ration Bonds 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 a breathtaking 537,595 Ration Bonds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Home renovation projects take decades to complete, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Thought Obliteration will pay them to stop, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thought Obliteration's national animal is the Awakened Primordial Horror, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the corruption of evolution.

Thought Obliteration is ranked 848^th in the world and 29^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 6,691 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
