The Sultanate of Living Congress is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its burgeoning eagle population. The cynical population of 36.706 billion Living Congressians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 49.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Living Congressian economy, worth a remarkable 1,021 trillion taxes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,827 taxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Living Congress's national animal is the eagle.

Living Congress is ranked 501st in the world and 1st in A Federal Commonwealth Society for Most Stationary, with 5,514.66313728 days.
