The United States of Billingtor is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 508 million Billingtorians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sannhet. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The thriving Billingtorian economy, worth 42.8 trillion coins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 84,296 coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 380,188 per year while the poor average 11,509, a ratio of 33.0 to 1.

All government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Sannhet, owning a tractor is widely regarded as an essential prerequisite to most government positions, Big Belly is watching you, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Billingtor's national animal is the Crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Billingtor is ranked 40,305^th in the world and 69^th in Fifth Empire for Most Extreme, scoring 33.48 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
