The Empire of The 10th Choice is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 1.399 billion 10th Choiceans 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 large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient 10th Choicean economy, worth 53.9 trillion baht 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 38,514 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and Leader's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 10th Choice's national animal is the Darkuriboh, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The 10th Choice is ranked 194,019^th in the world and 9^th in The Choices for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,156.35 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
