The Incorporated States of Entropy Squad XVIII is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, smutty television, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.148 billion Entropy Squad XVIIIians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Entropy Squad XVIIIian economy, worth 381 trillion Entropies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 121,346 Entropies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 475,668 per year while the poor average 21,062, a ratio of 22.6 to 1.

Diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, political commentators say that Leader's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped, residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Entropy Squad XVIII's national animal is the Soul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Entropy Squad XVIII is ranked 283,526^th in the world and 4,694^th in eta for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 36.01 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
