The Pegasus of Guard 55 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, cynical population of 23.658 billion Guard 55ians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The enormous, liberal government is primarily concerned with Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 48.8%.

The very strong Guard 55ian economy, worth 643 trillion Claws a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 27,183 Claws, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Guard 55's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Guard 55 is ranked 244,141^st in the world and 1^st in The Rocky Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
