The Rogue Nation of The Void Cometh is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 2.119 billion Efilists 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Void. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient An Efilist economy, worth 441 trillion dollars 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 208,373 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

City-slickers are jelly of all the farmland the government is giving away, woodcutter axes are cited as the most common cause of death amongst locusts, prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows, and the studies of art and philosophy are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Void Cometh's national animal is the locust, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Void Cometh is ranked 95,204^th in the world and 15^th in Philosophers for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,073.68 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
