The Empire of Compulsion is a very large, pleasant nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 138 million Compulsionians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The strong Compulsionian economy, worth 8.06 trillion compusleses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 58,385 compusleses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 168,360 per year while the poor average 16,072, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Agricultural employees work for peanuts, oddly patriotic flash mobs spontaneously sing the national anthem, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, and supervisors in Compulsion commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Compulsion's national animal is the llama, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Compulsion is ranked 254,063^rd in the world and 866^th in the Outback for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 755.35 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
