The Republic of Sixty-ninE X is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.224 billion Sixty-ninE Xians 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Sixty-ninE Xian economy, worth 116 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 18,733 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ritual mummification is making a comeback. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sixty-ninE X's national animal is the Bus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sixty-ninE X is ranked 57,662^nd in the world and 9^th in Sonnel for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
