The Questionable Concept of Uselessness is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Will of the People with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.608 billion Nessies enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prox. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Uselessnessian economy, worth a remarkable 1,096 trillion Monies a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 165,865 Monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, public transit is widely considered to be perpetrating the patriarchy, entomologists flock to Prox for its remarkable gadfly population, and the art of conversation has been rediscovered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uselessness's national animal is the person, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Copium.

Uselessness is ranked 9,667th in the world and 393rd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 116 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
