The Matriarchy of Twdne 264 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.391 billion Twdne 264ians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.2%.

The powerhouse Twdne 264ian economy, worth 100 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 72,265 yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 236,988 per year while the poor average 16,538, a ratio of 14.3 to 1.

Foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", surveillance cameras are banned, Leader has just been declared ruler of Twdne 264 in an international press conference, and loading sixteen tons of laundry gets you another year older and deeper in debt. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Twdne 264's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Twdne 264 is ranked 8,097^th in the world and 3^rd in Pasridi Confederacy for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 9,084.64 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
