The MT Army Caretaker of Custodian 18 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 25.948 billion Custodian 18ians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Custodian 18ian economy, worth 263 trillion Citas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 10,168 Citas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Custodian 18's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Custodian 18 is ranked 258,364^th in the world and 1^st in Vekta Helghast Controlled Lands for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.22 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
