The Mad Prophet of the Airwaves of Network is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Howard Beale with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.722 billion television viewers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The large, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of UBS studios. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.1%.

The thriving mad as Hell economy, worth a remarkable 1,481 trillion television shows a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 62,451 television shows, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 411,681 per year while the poor average 3,675, a ratio of 112 to 1.

The seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire, people can get away with murder these days, there's never a spare chair in the retirement home, and Howard Beale is generally seen as a know-it-all (Network has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Network's national animal is the lousy rating, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is demagoguery.

Network is ranked 79,393^rd in the world and 962^nd in the West Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 27.05 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
