The Missing Whole of Left Butt Cheek is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 26.831 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 5,086 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 189,568 poops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Self-sufficiency is built on seizing foreign assets, the government is plagued with uncertainty, street gangs rule most of the nation's major cities, and the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge. 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 13,025^th in the world and 7^th in Mordor for Highest Average Incomes, with 189,568.69 Standard Monetary Units.
