The Foreign Investors of Theta 8 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Mickey D with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, rampant corporate plagiarism, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.988 billion Shallow Characters 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 government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Royale. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The powerhouse Shallow Character economy, worth 346 trillion Casino Chips a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 69,424 Casino Chips, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 478,564 per year while the poor average 3,574, a ratio of 133 to 1.

Government spending has hit an all-time low, adults have never outgrown their fear of monsters, the Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution, and women complaining about lack of opportunity are told to "man up". Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Theta 8's national animal is the Compulsive Gambler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Theta 8 is ranked 51,958th in the world and 95th in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Most Stationary, with 856.56686846352 days.
