The Medicine Cabinet of THX1138 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by bowloftoast with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.551 billion THX1138sters enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lucas. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient THX1138ian economy, worth a remarkable 6,478 trillion Clangs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 315,246 Clangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime is totally unknown. THX1138's national animal is the Cuttlefish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is a healthy lack thereof.

THX1138 is ranked 14,033^rd in the world and 8^th in Philosophers for Most Income Equality, scoring 86.8 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
