The State of Propaganda Cliche is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 30.797 billion Propaganda Clicheans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Defense, Industry, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The thriving Propaganda Clichean economy, worth a remarkable 1,831 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 59,481 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 315,066 per year while the poor average 5,948, a ratio of 53.0 to 1.

Nudity is frowned upon, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime is a serious problem. Propaganda Cliche's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Propaganda Cliche is ranked 264,674th in the world and 4th in Fiji for Lowest Crime Rates, with 42.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
