The Questionable Dictatorship of Survivors Win is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Pop Cat with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, flagrant waste-dumping, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 8.221 billion Survivors Winians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Pop City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Survivors Winian economy, worth a remarkable 2,174 trillion Pops a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 264,455 Pops, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,433,968 per year while the poor average 2,933, a ratio of 829 to 1.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, gun shops sell hook hands and eye patches, legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving", and education for the poor is learning to ask "do you want fries with that?". Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Survivors Win's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pop Cat Worship.

Survivors Win is ranked 303,265th in the world and 230th in Refugia for Most Cultured, scoring 41 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
