The Robocracy of Awesomeland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Friend Computer with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 23.556 billion Awesomelandians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Education and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Mountainhome. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Awesomelandian economy, worth an astonishing 10,016 trillion Shinies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 425,236 Shinies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,096,925 per year while the poor average 49,128, a ratio of 42.7 to 1.

The government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, the ingredients list for most food products covers the entire surface of the packaging, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Awesomeland's national animal is the killer carp, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Awesomeland is ranked 40,175^th in the world and 2,092^nd in Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 49,128.99 Standard Monetary Units.
