The Rogue Nation of Industry Gambling is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.56 billion Addicts are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Healthcare is also considered important, while Education and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Las Vegas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Addicted economy, worth 725 trillion chips a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 130,544 chips, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,193,798 per year while the poor average 1,549, a ratio of 770 to 1.

Extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, electricity company executives pray nightly to Zeus and Thor, the credibility of anti-government demagogues is undermined by government claims that they smell like poo, and the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Industry Gambling's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Industry Gambling is ranked 293,773^rd in the world and 42^nd in Stats for Lowest Crime Rates, with 3.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
