The Murderbasket Republic of People Thingies is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 10.653 billion People Thingiesians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, pro-business government is dominated by the Department of Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Conscription City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The strong People Thingiesian economy, worth 479 trillion republics a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 44,995 republics, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 209,770 per year while the poor average 5,783, a ratio of 36.3 to 1.
