The Corporate Empire of Land of Corporations is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Corporate Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.476 billion Corporate Workers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corporate City. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Corporate Worker economy, worth a remarkable 1,834 trillion Corporate Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 334,966 Corporate Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,118,859 per year while the poor average 3,250, a ratio of 959 to 1.
The government has been criticized for giving away Land of Corporations's territory to anyone who claims it, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, tourists are flocking to the newly-built MeteorLand family resort, and citizens have to dodge their neighbors' drones while getting the morning paper. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Land of Corporations's national animal is the Corporate Animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Corporatism.
Land of Corporations is ranked 9,116th in the world and 1st in Corporate Paradise for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 426.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
