The Queen's State of CV22 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 19.687 billion CV22nders are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant CV22ian economy, worth 345 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is 17,547 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed and Harry Potter books are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CV22's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

CV22 is ranked 79,823^rd in the world and 46^th in Ancient Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
