The Baseball Team of The Cubs is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.227 billion Cubsians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wrigley Field. The average income tax rate is 67.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Cubsian economy, worth 920 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,395 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, and supervisors in The Cubs commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Cubs's national animal is the unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Baseball.

The Cubs is ranked 23,656^th in the world and 2^nd in Wrigley for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 98.09 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
