The Republic of Central Line 19 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions. The hard-nosed population of 9.906 billion Central Line 19ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Central Line 19ian economy, worth 355 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,860 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Fruit pickers with degrees in fox psychology are a common sight, the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, and interest in globalism never flags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central Line 19's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Central Line 19 is ranked 163,154^th in the world and 1^st in Ceawlin of Wessex for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 451.01 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
