The Dictatorship of Venom Bug is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Gama lijah with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.248 billion Venom Bugians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jupiter. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Venom Bugian economy, worth a remarkable 2,119 trillion Eyeballs a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 339,176 Eyeballs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Gama lijah often plays real life games of Tower Defense against hordes of angry villagers, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, intoxicated AI mobile platforms are sometimes seen crashing through windows instead of being crashed by them, and advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Gama lijah's most personal functions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venom Bug's national animal is the Zombie Beetle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Order of Poison.

Venom Bug is ranked 266,935^th in the world and 12,428^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -454.59 on the Hayek Index.
