The Community of Buy-N-Large Corporation is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18 million Consumers are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.
The thriving Consumer economy, worth 1.35 trillion BnL Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 74,998 BnL Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 265,469 per year while the poor average 15,298, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.
Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Buy-N-Large Corporation's national animal is the Probe, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Buy-N-Large Corporation is ranked 32,143rd in the world and 5th in The Outer Rim for Most Primitive, scoring 69.28 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
