“From Sea to Shining Sea!”

The Territory of Of the People-L is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 44.363 billion the People-Lians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The very strong the People-Lian economy, worth a remarkable 2,265 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is 51,062 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 275,048 per year while the poor average 4,928, a ratio of 55.8 to 1.

Military spending recently hit a new high, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, bicyclists are banned from major roads, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Of the People-L's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Of the People-L is ranked 100,627^th in the world and 1^st in Central Intelligence Agency for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 227.46 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
