The Nomadic People of The Void Collective is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by The Soulless One with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.2 billion Voidenians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Voiden. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Voidenian economy, worth 689 trillion coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 95,765 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by The Soulless One, and ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products. Crime is totally unknown. The Void Collective's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Void Collective is ranked 270,766th in the world and 605th in 10000 Islands for Most Primitive, scoring -245.7 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
