The Grand Duchy of Random Nation 59 is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The quiet, industrious population of 921 million Random Nation 59ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 26.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Random Nation 59ian economy, worth 24.4 trillion Platinums 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, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. 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 26,506 Platinums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gambling is outlawed, marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Random Nation 59's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Random Nation 59 is ranked 245,763^rd in the world and 496^th in Oofery for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 68 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
