The Combined Power of Transnational Corporations is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Economist King with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, complete lack of public education, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 18.989 billion Brand Loyalty Slaves 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, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Market Positioning. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Transnational Corporationsian economy, worth a remarkable 5,065 trillion Souls a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 266,736 Souls, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,165,616 per year while the poor average 7,254, a ratio of 298 to 1.

Ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Transnational Corporationsian beaches, an increasing number of citizens believe the world is flat, toddler groups have taken over local libraries, and costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Transnational Corporations's national animal is the Consumer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Transnational Corporations is ranked 272,286^th in the world and 13^th in Unknown for Most Primitive, scoring -258.53 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
