The Glorious Dictatorship of The Big Brother is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Big Brother with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.125 billion Citizens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Industry and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Citadel. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Citizen economy, worth a remarkable 5,352 trillion offerings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 253,350 offerings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 728,474 per year while the poor average 70,025, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off, children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, international organisations everywhere are united in their condemnation of the nation's zombified military (The Big Brother has found 1 easter egg), and fitness to teach sport is proven by urinating the furthest up a wall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. The Big Brother's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Cult of the Big Brother.

The Big Brother is ranked 61,723^rd in the world and 20^th in The Alliance of Dictators for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,051.3 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
