The Nation of 95X is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 18.859 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pacific City. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Information Technology and Woodchip Exports.

'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative', and citizens who become homeless are immediately executed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. 95X's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Transfer.

95X is ranked 13th in Atlantian Oceania and 15,663rd in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 14 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
