The Republic of 928 is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 608 million 928ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.1%.

The all-consuming 928ian economy, worth 60.7 trillion currencies a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,870 currencies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 353,511 per year while the poor average 20,371, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and bike rage is all the rage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 928's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

928 is ranked 250,236^th in the world and 198^th in Charleslandia for Nicest Citizens, with 9.76 average smiles per day.
