The Nation with the wrong flag of 16 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.126 billion 16ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 16ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,673 trillion numbers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 158,832 numbers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Endangered species are effective hostages against the 16ian military, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", and politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 16's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

16 is ranked 17,552^nd in the world and 1,164^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 91.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
