The Rogue Nation of Discourse is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Problematic Fave with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, fear of technology, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.833 billion problematic people are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.4%.

The large but inefficient problematic economy, worth 107 trillion receipts 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. 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 58,547 receipts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 165,733 per year while the poor average 16,538, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Gangs have taken to secret handshakes after tattoos were banned, suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, and a soldier's body is a temple. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Discourse's national animal is the meme, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Privilege.

Discourse is ranked 210,974^th in the world and 7^th in Marionette for Largest Populations, with 1.83 billion capita.
