The Medicine Cabinet of THX1138 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by bowloftoast with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, rampant corporate plagiarism, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 24.707 billion THX1138sters enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lucas. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient THX1138ian economy, worth a remarkable 8,597 trillion Clangs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 347,993 Clangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, group hugs break out during floor votes, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, and what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans. Crime is totally unknown. THX1138's national animal is the Cuttlefish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is A Healthy Lack Thereof.

THX1138 is ranked 1,724th in the world and 1st in Schopenhauer for Lowest Crime Rates, with 150.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
