The Republic of 1d20 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate population of 2.505 billion 1d20ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 34.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving 1d20ian economy, worth 225 trillion Blåhajs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,027 Blåhajs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Warning signs caution 1d20ians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', economists claim no news is good news, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, and convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1d20's national animal is the shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

1d20 is ranked 87,648^th in the world and 293^rd in NDR Depository Region for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,106.52 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
