The Matriarchy of Twdne 40 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.641 billion Twdne 40ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Twdne 40ian economy, worth 89.7 trillion yen a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,633 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, the government is hounded to provide tissues whenever the feelings of the Dàguó people are hurt, and internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twdne 40's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Twdne 40 is ranked 48,294^th in the world and 334^th in eta for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,007.46 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
