The Matriarchy of Twdne 147 is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.55 billion Twdne 147ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.1%.

The strong Twdne 147ian economy, worth 82.3 trillion yen a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,124 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists, returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twdne 147's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
