The Missing Whole of Left Butt Cheek is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, soft-spoken computers, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 26.705 billion Butts enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of a very Special Place. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Left Butt economy, worth a remarkable 4,955 trillion poops 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. 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 185,567 poops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying, the new Left Butt-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage, the a very Special Place State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee', and EpiPen sales have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Left Butt Cheek's national animal is the Wild Diarrhoea Monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Left Butt Cheek is ranked 318,866^th in the world and 18^th in Mordor for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
