The 29 of ----------------------------- is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Frattastan with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 26.904 billion -----------------------------ians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kandarin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.7%.

The frighteningly efficient -----------------------------ian economy, worth a remarkable 5,877 trillion 29s a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 218,456 29s, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, and black tea is only available on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -----------------------------'s national animal is the 29, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

----------------------------- is ranked 18,203rd in the world and 1,029th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 94 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
