The Flatulent Bleatings of Pompous Windbags is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Maximilian III with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, strictly enforced bedtime, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 42.822 billion Windbags are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mintaka. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Pompous Windbagsian economy, worth an astonishing 14,406 trillion bones a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an amazing 336,426 bones, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,528,870 per year while the poor average 12,832, a ratio of 197 to 1.

Citizens are encouraged to show displeasure with politicians by poking them with sharp metal sticks, the first sword of Pompous Windbags does not run, nose plugs are the latest Pompous Windbagsian fashion accessory, and Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Pompous Windbags's national animal is the kestrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Pompous Windbags is ranked 1^st in the world and 1^st in Free States of Gaia for Lowest Crime Rates, with zero law-abiding acts per hour.
