The Grand Duchy of Behind Your Eye is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Hoser Jones with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 29.702 billion Behind Your Eyeans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Behind Your Eye City. The average income tax rate is 4.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Behind Your Eyean economy, worth a remarkable 6,283 trillion toenails a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 211,556 toenails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, nations that kill a Behind Your Eyean can expect a strongly worded letter, and building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Behind Your Eye's national animal is the ocelot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pastafarian.

Behind Your Eye is ranked 3,075th in the world and 3rd in Pony Lands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 693.05 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
