The Republic of 306 is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 644 million 306ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 39.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong 306ian economy, worth 47.1 trillion currencies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,180 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, discarded pennies litter the streets, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 306's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

306 is ranked 125,161^st in the world and 63^rd in Charleslandia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,567.56 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
