The Overwhelming Trauma of Thought Obliteration is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Chain of Command with an iron fist, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.567 billion helpless victims are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of TM001313. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient dehumanizing economy, worth a remarkable 2,800 trillion Ration Bonds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 503,082 Ration Bonds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Chain of Command's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, soldiers are equipped with multi-million Ration Bond battlesuits, broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thought Obliteration's national animal is the Awakened Primordial Horror, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the corruption of evolution.

Thought Obliteration is ranked 4,760th in the world and 240th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 576.69 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
