The Smoke Signals of Logical Stimulus is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Marcus with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.786 billion strangers 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scott Street. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Logical Stimulusian economy, worth 265 trillion integrands 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 95,142 integrands, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign leaders who don't applaud Marcus's speeches are regarded as enemies of Logical Stimulus, factories are beating plows into swords, the inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under, and the nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Logical Stimulus's national animal is the sun bleached fly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Logical Stimulus is ranked 26,993^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Edge of Town for Largest Governments, scoring 27.68 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
