The Incorporated States of Hostile Takeover is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 7.455 billion Hostile Takeoverians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The very strong Hostile Takeoverian economy, worth 449 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming.
