The Neoliberal Post-Democracy of Theconomistan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Milton Friedman with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, unlimited-speed roads, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 26.456 billion valued customers 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 solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chicago. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Theconomistanian economy, worth a remarkable 6,404 trillion fiat petrodollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 242,065 fiat petrodollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,239,965 per year while the poor average 2,527, a ratio of 886 to 1.

The best defense is a good fence, AIs are programmed to deliberately fail the Turing Test to make it easier for humans to turn them off, declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing Milton Friedman to progressive thinkers, and corruption is a game of two halves. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Theconomistan's national animal is the elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is neoliberal orthodoxy.

Theconomistan is ranked 293,696^th in the world and 12^th in Stanistan for Lowest Crime Rates, with 3.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
