The Colony of 469 is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 929 million 469ians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish 469ian economy, worth 18.2 trillion baht a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 19,594 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 469's national animal is the unicorn.

469 is ranked 264,751^st in the world and 14,619^th in Lazarus for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 713.31 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
