The State of 15th State is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 37.398 billion 15th Stateans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The thriving 15th Statean economy, worth a remarkable 1,543 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 41,266 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 126,059 per year while the poor average 10,470, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and 15th State has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem. 15th State's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

15th State is ranked 214,044^th in the world and 400^th in State for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring zero on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
