The Parliamentary Republic of Twanty is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Matias Herrero with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 10.13 billion Twantians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lisgard. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Twantyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,748 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 172,586 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 727,692 per year while the poor average 26,522, a ratio of 27.4 to 1.
Claims adjusters are uselessly vague, citizens need a magnifying glass and color chart to distinguish between nearly identical brand labels, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Twanty's national animal is the Sun bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Twanty is ranked 252,159th in the world and 8,026th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 18.2342591634 days.
