The Lacking of -HumanSanity- is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cynical population of 19.704 billion Kerg But Not Badians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 30.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving -HumanSanity-ian economy, worth 709 trillion shekels a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 36,009 shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, research grant proposals read like political diatribes, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, and pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -HumanSanity-'s national animal is the flying fox, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

-HumanSanity- is ranked 22,068^th in the world and 467^th in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 21.52 average smiles per day.
