The Community of Like whatever is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 140 million slackers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 62.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient chill economy, worth 7.10 trillion Loves a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 50,717 Loves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People across the world seek to be healthier by eliminating carbs, election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime is totally unknown. Like whatever's national animal is the Dude, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Like whatever is ranked 242,884^th in the world and 4,430^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 19,069.8 Standard Monetary Units.
