The Federal Republic of Twazta is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 143 million Twaztans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 11.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Twaztan economy, worth 13.8 trillion Tazzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 96,785 Tazzes, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, and the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Twazta's national animal is the Twaztan Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Twazta is ranked 249,028^th in the world and 3,627^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
