The Acetylcholine Inhibitors of Deadly Night Shade is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 34.682 billion Deadly Night Shadeans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The all-consuming Deadly Night Shadean economy, worth a remarkable 2,919 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 84,193 Pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 692,807 per year while the poor average 2,136, a ratio of 324 to 1.

Sales of fishnet stockings have reached a record high, children are regularly married to each other to secure business deals between families, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, and the children of Deadly Night Shade are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Deadly Night Shade's national animal is the Cadaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Deadly Night Shade is ranked 170,357th in the world and 106th in Lands End for Highest Food Quality, scoring 13.91 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
