The Empire of Situationism is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 4.469 billion Situationismians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 18.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Situationismian economy, worth 208 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,623 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Situationism's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Situationism is ranked 225,506^th in the world and 10^th in Mesa for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 743.17 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
