The Grand Duchy of 8-Bit Theater is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.082 billion 8-Bit Theaterians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.2%.

The strong 8-Bit Theaterian economy, worth 95.6 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 45,904 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. 8-Bit Theater's national animal is the dove.

8-Bit Theater is ranked 226,792^nd in the world and 1^st in 8 Bit Land for Rudest Citizens, with 33.23 insults per minute.
