The Republic of 27SQN is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.718 billion 27SQNians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 55.3%.

The all-consuming 27SQNian economy, worth 582 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,850 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Single celebrities have to repeatedly prove their chastity to avoid being married off to infatuated fans, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, people have to sneak out of the country in order to have sex, and the Father of the House has been in office just shy of a fortnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 27SQN's national animal is the Elephant.

27SQN is ranked 54,308^th in the world and 3,120^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,625.33 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
