The Republic of HumanCentipede is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 8.39 billion HumanCentipedeans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 32.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving HumanCentipedean economy, worth 711 trillion tacoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,807 tacoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and taxpayers cringe whenever someone brings up the Former Antagonist Reparations Treaty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HumanCentipede's national animal is the frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HumanCentipede is ranked 51,311th in the world and 1st in Magna Regio for Most Stationary, with 875.82171725152 days.
