The Robo Orangugrump of Papercuts and Skittles is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Geoff with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 18.734 billion Paps are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Brunswick. The average income tax rate is 38.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skittlesian economy, worth a remarkable 5,367 trillion Skits a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 286,534 Skits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning, returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, the military has gone fission for more funding, and for some reason the census focuses on daily banana ingestion and hourly quip rate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Papercuts and Skittles's national animal is the Papercut, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Papercuts and Skittles is ranked 177,895th in the world and 1,239th in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 82.92624553828 days.
