The Republic of 116 is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed population of 604 million 116ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 44.5%.

The thriving 116ian economy, worth 38.4 trillion currencies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,599 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 116's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

116 is ranked 268,507^th in the world and 107^th in Charleslandia for Largest Populations, with 604 million capita.
