The Republic of Negatax is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and feral children. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 7.744 billion Negataxians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Negataxian economy, worth a remarkable 3,152 trillion currencies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 407,028 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,798,308 per year while the poor average 3,841, a ratio of 988 to 1.

Companies are literally blowing their competition out of the water, citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, belief that Leader is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high, and things are looking up for sentient toilet bowls. 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. Negatax's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Negatax is ranked 298,467^th in the world and 33^rd in Vickenian experiment incubator for Most Primitive, scoring -285.58 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
