The Corporate Empire of Land of Corporations is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Corporate Leader with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory gun ownership, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 6.907 billion Corporate Workers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Defense is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corporate City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Corporate Worker economy, worth a remarkable 2,320 trillion Corporate Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 336,002 Corporate Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,128,509 per year while the poor average 3,260, a ratio of 959 to 1.

Town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, charity workers dole out hardtack from behind designer sunglasses, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, and playing card suits are sold separately. 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. Land of Corporations's national animal is the Corporate Animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Corporatism.

Land of Corporations is ranked 2,707th in the world and 1st in Corporate Paradise for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 15,421.9 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
