The Technocratic Union of 24221 Paradigm is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Principex with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 12.24 billion 24221 Paradigmians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Apotheosis. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient 24221 Paradigmian economy, worth a remarkable 3,122 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 255,139 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

History textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, and the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 24221 Paradigm's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

24221 Paradigm is ranked 3,352^nd in the world and 2^nd in Alcris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 23,307.69 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
