The Republic of Amendment 20 is a large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 152 million Amendment 20ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Amendment 20ian economy, worth 2.90 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 19,107 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amendment 20's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Amendment 20 is ranked 137,166^th in the world and 3^rd in 27 Amendments for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 497.24 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
