The Anomaly of Last Choicia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by My Roblox Girlfriend with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, feral children, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 14.615 billion Last Choosers are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, although Industry, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jonesburg. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Last Choician economy, worth a remarkable 5,749 trillion Jolly Ranchers 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. 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 an amazing 393,413 Jolly Ranchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself, schoolchildren's "what I did on my holidays" essays tend to be somewhat homogeneous, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Last Choicia, and the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Last Choicia's national animal is the Solid Octopus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is The Last Option.

Last Choicia is ranked 31st in the world and 1st in TopCornion for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1,734.29 kickbacks per hour.
