The Free Democratic Republic of Everywhere Else is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by the greatest leader of All Time with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.532 billion entities are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Spirituality, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sloppington. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.6%.

The frighteningly efficient economy, worth 688 trillion unspeakable acts a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 151,899 unspeakable acts, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 859,733 per year while the poor average 13,149, a ratio of 65.4 to 1.

The government maintains that belief brings greater security than money or a roof, government statistics suggest 115% of the population love the greatest leader of All Time, a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, and the media have begun calling the government treasury "the greatest leader of All Time's stash". Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Everywhere Else's national animal is the microbe, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is whatever the greatest leader thinks.

Everywhere Else is ranked 9,167th in the world and 158th in the West Pacific for Most Conservative, scoring 90.67 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
