The Medicine Cabinet of THX1138 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by bowloftoast with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 29.948 billion THX1138sters are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lucas. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient THX1138ian economy, worth an astonishing 12,095 trillion Clangs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 403,868 Clangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, old cars must undergo mandatory sensitivity training, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, and literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts. Crime is totally unknown. THX1138's national animal is the Cuttlefish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is A Healthy Lack Thereof.

THX1138 is ranked 546^th in the world and 1^st in Schopenhauer for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,298.35 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
