The Republic of Da 20 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.363 billion Da 20ians 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 Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.1%.

The thriving Da 20ian economy, worth 98.4 trillion Hhhtyies a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,181 Hhhtyies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 246,792 per year while the poor average 15,521, a ratio of 15.9 to 1.

Polygamy is legal, 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government, and Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Da 20's national animal is the Hutjhg, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Da 20 is ranked 67,602^nd in the world and 3,803^rd in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,858.74 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
