The Theoretical Liberty of Willing Ignorance is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Anne Capp with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.403 billion ignorant are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spencerville. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient ignorant economy, worth a remarkable 5,080 trillion bonds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 488,324 bonds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,781,121 per year while the poor average 16,520, a ratio of 228 to 1.

Distrust of taps has many people bathing only with bottled mineral water, male celebrity chefs are laughed at for their lack of manliness, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Willing Ignorance's national animal is the koala, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nepotism.

Willing Ignorance is ranked 313,372nd in the world and 6,111th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 0.67 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
