The Oppressed Peoples of A Catastrophic Megadrought is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by A Catastrophic Megadrought with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.532 billion Catastrophic Megadroughtians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Scorched Earth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.9%.

The all-consuming Catastrophic Megadroughtian economy, worth 629 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 96,299 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 326,612 per year while the poor average 20,960, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

The nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan, the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight, they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), and you're only as old as you feel. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. A Catastrophic Megadrought's national animal is the dead fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is A Catastrophic Megadrought.

A Catastrophic Megadrought is ranked 55,369^th in the world and 4^th in Dead Sea for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,806.02 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
