The Rogue Nation of ThePokerTable is a tiny, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8 million gamblers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Administration, although Education, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The very strong gambling economy, worth 513 billion chips a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 64,101 chips, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 337,933 per year while the poor average 6,473, a ratio of 52.2 to 1.

The best doughnut stores have been taken over by foreign police officers, five year olds are carried away after losing roachball games, drowning sailors are hung out to dry, and drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. ThePokerTable's national animal is the roach, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

ThePokerTable is ranked 40,887^th in the world and 171^st in Starlight for Most Secular, with 27.1 Atheism Rate.
