The Missing Whole of Left Butt Cheek is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 26.76 billion Butts enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of a very Special Place. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Left Butt economy, worth a remarkable 5,003 trillion poops 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, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Gambling. 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 impressive 186,960 poops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, and groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Left Butt Cheek's national animal is the Wild Diarrhoea Monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Left Butt Cheek is ranked 4,090th in the world and 3rd in Mordor for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 19,448.16 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
