The Republic of Worthless is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 10.109 billion Worthlessians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 34.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Worthlessian economy, worth 405 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,120 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, a major religion has been named as Worthless's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Worthless in an international press conference, and Worthless has designated Worthless City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Worthless's national animal is the card.

Worthless is ranked 236,571^st in the world and 2,059^th in The catholic military orders for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 229.28 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
