The Supremely Balanced Trays of Cocktail Waitresses is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Doctor Benway with a fair hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.24 billion Cocktail Waitresses enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vending Machine. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The Cocktail Waitressing economy, worth a remarkable 3,420 trillion pogosticks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,117 pogosticks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings, and postcards from Cocktail Waitressing driving test centres are popular souvenirs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cocktail Waitresses's national animal is the alien life form, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cocktail Waitresses is ranked 57,350^th in the world and 2,780^th in Lazarus for Most Developed, scoring 75.55 on the Human Development Index.
