The Federation of Twistor Conscription is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 289 million Twistor Conscriptionians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.8%.

The strong Twistor Conscriptionian economy, worth 19.8 trillion Florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 68,445 Florins, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, corporate innovation has effectively ended since ideas can no longer be owned, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Twistor Conscription's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Twistor Conscription is ranked 214,143^rd in the world and 8,915^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 224.73 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
