The Matriarchy of Twdne 18 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.589 billion Twdne 18ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 52.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Twdne 18ian economy, worth 84.9 trillion yen a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,399 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, the 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite, and a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twdne 18's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Twdne 18 is ranked 3,153^rd in the world and 30^th in eta for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 13,597.26 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
