The Matriarchy of Twdne 24 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and state-planned economy. The quiet, industrious population of 1.612 billion Twdne 24ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 62.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Twdne 24ian economy, worth 36.7 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 22,776 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and Twdne 24 is renowned for its lax gun laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twdne 24's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Twdne 24 is ranked 300,606^th in the world and 31^st in The Nationstates Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.89 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
