The State of Zwanzig Neun is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.741 billion Zwanzig Neunians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The very strong Zwanzig Neunian economy, worth a remarkable 1,086 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 40,615 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 276,137 per year while the poor average 2,182, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Education and welfare spending are on the rise, Zwanzig Neun has designated Westminster as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Zwanzig Neun in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zwanzig Neun's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zwanzig Neun is ranked 138,069^th in the world and 4^th in Tashkent for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 70 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
