The Private Stash of Top Shelf Weed is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Marijuana Horticulturist with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 18.36 billion Top Shelf Weedians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Marijuana Dispensary. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Top Shelf Weedian economy, worth a remarkable 3,981 trillion ounces a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 216,871 ounces, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bars are packed at all hours, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is totally unknown. Top Shelf Weed's national animal is the barn owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Weed.

Top Shelf Weed is ranked 6,477th in the world and 1st in Weed for Lowest Crime Rates, with 110.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
