The Republic of District Line 20 is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, devout population of 10.735 billion District Line 20ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 23.9%.

The strong District Line 20ian economy, worth 600 trillion florins a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,982 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, demand for night vision goggles and boat engine mufflers has spiked, and the government spends millions of florins every year prosecuting spammers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. District Line 20's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

District Line 20 is ranked 250,267^th in the world and 75^th in Esportiva for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -30 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
