The Nomadic Peoples of Endorsed is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.359 billion Endorsedians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Endorsedian economy, worth a remarkable 2,274 trillion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 309,036 Pesos, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,769,122 per year while the poor average 4,438, a ratio of 623 to 1.

Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, calling tech support mid-shootout is a common occurrence, and according to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color. Crime is totally unknown. Endorsed's national animal is the Giraffe, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Endorsed is ranked 44,525th in the world and 62nd in Poetry for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
