The Republic of The MSG Sphere is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.936 billion MSG Sphereans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong MSG Spherean economy, worth 295 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 75,130 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

The armed forces pride themselves on being conventional and predictable, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The MSG Sphere's national animal is the great white shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The MSG Sphere is ranked 245,318^th in the world and 11^th in The Las Vegas Valley for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.77 kickbacks per hour.
