The Republic of Amendment 21 is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 108 million Amendment 21ians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Amendment 21ian economy, worth 627 billion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 5,814 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amendment 21's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Amendment 21 is ranked 303,265^th in the world and 6^th in 27 Amendments for Most Developed, scoring 42.74 on the Human Development Index.
