The ~~~ of Void Termina is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by ~~~ with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.849 billion ~~~~~~~~~ are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.0%.

The frighteningly efficient ~~~ economy, worth 334 trillion ~~~s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,252 ~~~s, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 623,547 per year while the poor average 11,628, a ratio of 53.6 to 1.

Virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', the numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Void Termina's national animal is the ~~~, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is ~~~.

Void Termina is ranked 58,737th in the world and 5th in Zalannian Kirbs for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 17,884.48 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
