The Republic of Amendment 27 is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning dove population. The hard-nosed population of 131 million Amendment 27ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 14.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Amendment 27ian economy, worth 6.42 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,006 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amendment 27's national animal is the dove.

Amendment 27 is ranked 214,756^th in the world and 5^th in 27 Amendments for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.59 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
