The Republic of February 23rd is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Card population. The hard-working population of 32 million February 23rdians 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 31.5%.

The February 23rdian economy, worth 1.15 trillion Cards a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Average income is 35,994 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, surveillance cameras are banned, Harry Potter books are banned, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as February 23rdians. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. February 23rd's national animal is the Card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

February 23rd is ranked 152,990^th in the world and 42^nd in Calendar for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring zero on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
