The Black sheep of Persona Non Grata is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 30.323 billion Persona Non Gratans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Spirituality also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment are ignored. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Persona Non Gratan economy, worth a remarkable 5,150 trillion pngs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 169,856 pngs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,563,201 per year while the poor average 1,885, a ratio of 829 to 1.

Fake beard sales are on the rise amongst female commuters, bounty hunters have been dispatched to hunt down rogue bounty hunters, the mummified remains of former kings are apparently discovered every time a tourist loses their wallet, and new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Persona Non Grata's national animal is the png, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Persona Non Grata is ranked 261,541st in the world and 9,152nd in Balder for Most Primitive, scoring -195.73 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
