The Crunch Confederacy of NACHO Founders is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by High Command with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.82 billion Nachos are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Education aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nachopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.1%.

The all-consuming Nacho economy, worth 158 trillion Shields a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,983 Shields, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has certified several glow-in-the-dark athletes as drug free, the police have taken to prying guns out of the cold fingers of Nachos, street food vendors are accompanied by personal fleets of garbage trucks, and High Command has just been declared ruler of NACHO Founders in an international press conference. Crime is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. NACHO Founders's national animal is the radioactive nacho, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NACHO Founders is ranked 294,760^th in the world and 2^nd in NACHO for Nicest Citizens, with 0.61 average smiles per day.
