The Christmas Cracker of Drop Dead Gorgeous is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Upand Attum with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.565 billion Drop Dead Gorgeousians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katrina. The average income tax rate is 69.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Drop Dead Gorgeousian economy, worth a remarkable 5,003 trillion Lipsticks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 255,732 Lipsticks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, and parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drop Dead Gorgeous's national animal is the She Vampire, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Narcicism.

Drop Dead Gorgeous is ranked 287,253^rd in the world and 3,666^th in the West Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.18 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
