The Three Millionth Nation of Terrible Books is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.208 billion 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 medium-sized, liberal, pro-business government appears to have no policy direction whatsoever. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Soda Sales and Retail.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, surveillance cameras are banned, voting is voluntary, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Terrible Books's national animal is the whale is not a fish you moron, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the overrated self-indulgent pomp.

Terrible Books is ranked 9th in Ether and 19,356th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
