The Armed Republic of Very Big Country is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Big Leader II with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.682 billion Very Big Countryians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Big Factory. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Very Big Countryian economy, worth a remarkable 2,980 trillion Industrial Net Material Production Units 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an amazing 343,285 Industrial Net Material Production Units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, and young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Very Big Country's national animal is the Clifford the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Big Leader Thought.

Very Big Country is ranked 190,695^th in the world and 158^th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 387.65 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
