The Republic of District Line 22 is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed population of 10.673 billion District Line 22ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Administration, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 23.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient District Line 22ian economy, worth 518 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,541 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The might of the entire District Line 22ian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, and former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. District Line 22's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

District Line 22 is ranked 141,972^nd in the world and 6^th in League of Sovereign Nations for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,885.91 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
