The Potential of A Cardboard Box is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by A boy and his tiger with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.917 billion Transmogrifiers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Administration, although Spirituality, International Aid, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tree Fort. Income tax is unheard of.
The strong Transmogrifying economy, worth 648 trillion imaginations a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 131,831 imaginations, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 936,258 per year while the poor average 6,165, a ratio of 151 to 1.
Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation, the diplomatic corps stinks, interest in globalism never flags, and human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. A Cardboard Box's national animal is the Stuffed Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Toboggan Philosophy.
