The  ∴  of Commission is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory vegetarianism, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.013 billion courtiers are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the uplinked manifold. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.4%.

The thriving commissionary economy, worth 167 trillion  ∴ s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 83,026  ∴ s, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 314,997 per year while the poor average 15,191, a ratio of 20.7 to 1.

They say the best compromise leaves everyone feeling a little unarmed, the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end, harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments", and the recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Commission's national animal is the organ dog, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Commission is ranked 163,639^th in the world and 1^st in Kay Pacha for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 675.71 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
