The Republic of A Problematic Founder is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 315 million Problematic Founderians 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 is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 12.6%.

The Problematic Founderian economy, worth 11.8 trillion idks a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 37,508 idks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. A Problematic Founder's national animal is the idk, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

A Problematic Founder is ranked 268,074^th in the world and 1^st in A Problematic Region for Largest Governments, scoring 7.55 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
