The Matriarchy of Twdne 22 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its closed borders, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 1.7 billion Twdne 22ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 64.7%.

The Twdne 22ian economy, worth 92.8 trillion yen a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,598 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign nationals are widely distrusted, a major religion has been named as Twdne 22's national religion, scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, and reports of arson have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twdne 22's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Twdne 22 is ranked 287,757^th in the world and 3^rd in The Cosmere for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 19,273.16 Standard Monetary Units.
