The Incorporated States of Factbooker is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, devout population of 621 million Factbookerians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Factbookerian economy, worth 43.9 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 70,626 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police shut down children's lemonade stands for being "unsavory street food", agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, women across the country are tying the knot, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Factbooker's national animal is the elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Factbooker is ranked 295,549th in the world and 100th in Zalannian Kirbs for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.43 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
