The McTrade Community of The Co-Prosperity-Sphere is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Teflon President with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 12.311 billion consumers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Telosa. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient consuming economy, worth a remarkable 3,030 trillion Petrodollars 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 246,198 Petrodollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,263,874 per year while the poor average 2,757, a ratio of 820 to 1.

Every fourth child is born with flippers instead of hands, new urban roads are threatening city parks, spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, and foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle. 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. The Co-Prosperity-Sphere's national animal is the Elongated Muskrat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tax Fraud.

The Co-Prosperity-Sphere is ranked 294,123^rd in the world and 11,340^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.3 law-abiding acts per hour.
