The Overwhelming Trauma of Thought Obliteration is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Augmented Soldiers of Obliteration with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.725 billion helpless victims are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of TM001313. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient dehumanizing economy, worth a remarkable 3,590 trillion Ration Bonds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 533,942 Ration Bonds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, and no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thought Obliteration's national animal is the Awakened Primordial Horror, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the corruption of evolution.

Thought Obliteration is ranked 316,024th in the world and 6,069th in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
