The Incorporated States of Konsum is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 310 million Konsumians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blüceberg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The thriving Konsumian economy, worth 25.6 trillion Aints a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 82,495 Aints, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 462,224 per year while the poor average 7,305, a ratio of 63.3 to 1.

The industries of Konsum are coughing all the way to the bank, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, the nation's new flagship trading company deals exclusively in things no one wants, and criminals are thrown to the Konsum Mountain Lions to repay their debt to society. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Konsum's national animal is the Konsum Mountain Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Konsum is ranked 148,830^th in the world and 129^th in Eladria for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 74.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
