The State of Schumacther is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.227 billion Schumactherians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Welfare is also considered important, while Law & Order and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The thriving Schumactherian economy, worth a remarkable 1,232 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 40,758 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 159,460 per year while the poor average 7,097, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Schumacther's national animal is the deer.

Schumacther is ranked 312,412^th in the world and 1^st in The Island Continent Of Faro for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -5.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
