The Republic of Touching Grass 3 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, ban on automobiles, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.223 billion Touching Grass 3ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 03. The average income tax rate is 37.5%.

The powerhouse Touching Grass 3ian economy, worth 303 trillion 03s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,181 03s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, and urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Touching Grass 3's national animal is the 03, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Touching Grass 3 is ranked 85,225th in the world and 134th in The Funian Puppet Region for Most Stationary, with 549.7620092632 days.
