The Robocracy of Awesomeland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Friend Computer with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 27.098 billion Awesomelandians 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 minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Education and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Mountainhome. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Awesomelandian economy, worth an astonishing 12,743 trillion Shinies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 470,261 Shinies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,570,303 per year while the poor average 43,984, a ratio of 58.4 to 1.

Politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, children must make a homemade spinach and ricotta rotolo by high school or be held back, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', and statue-sitting has replaced the stake-out as the dullest form of police duty. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Awesomeland's national animal is the killer carp, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Awesomeland is ranked 46,755th in the world and 532nd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 937.9689830328 days.
