The Republic of Light Crude Oil Future is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and labour-free parental leave. The cynical population of 3.311 billion Light Crude Oil Futureans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The all-consuming Light Crude Oil Futurean economy, worth 344 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

Average income is an impressive 104,195 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
