The Robocracy of Awesomeland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Friend Computer with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 27.256 billion Awesomelandians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Education and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Mountainhome. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Awesomelandian economy, worth an astonishing 12,866 trillion Shinies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 472,051 Shinies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,609,936 per year while the poor average 43,056, a ratio of 60.6 to 1.

There is no other place with more lab coats per square mile than former houses of worship, human pie shops continue to receive shipments of meat from Spleeny Rodd's, stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, and in musicals everybody's a little bit racist. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Awesomeland's national animal is the killer carp, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Awesomeland is ranked 293,345th in the world and 11,465th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -1481.87 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
