The Republic of Central Line 29 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 9.807 billion Central Line 29ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 32.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Central Line 29ian economy, worth 436 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,507 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It's said that any enemy of democracy is a friend to Leader, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, the nation's water should not be ingested while operating heavy machinery, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Central Line 29's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Central Line 29 is ranked 233,091^st in the world and 1^st in Offa of Mercia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 389.01 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
