The Republic of 2884 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nancy Pelosi with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 10.973 billion 2884ians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Iwi City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The strong 2884ian economy, worth 589 trillion deniers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 53,719 deniers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 345,373 per year while the poor average 3,390, a ratio of 101 to 1.

The Great 2884ian Desert is reputedly the most uninhabitable place in the region, tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, Taoism has been named as 2884's national religion, and Nancy Pelosi has just been declared ruler of 2884 in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. 2884's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Taoism.

2884 is ranked 267,968^th in the world and 12^th in 314159265358979323846264338327950 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 39.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
