The Lookalikes of Zwillinge-Gemini is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Twinings with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, devout population of 7.168 billion Zwillinge-Geminians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Twingle. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Zwillinge-Geminian economy, worth 920 trillion Deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,358 Deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 395,494 per year while the poor average 32,169, a ratio of 12.3 to 1.

The term "Native Zwillinge-Geminian" has been redefined as anyone with the same skin color as the majority, the key to a long musical career is government contracts, the nation's endangered species are no longer endangered, and fly fishermen are legally forbidden from using electronic lures. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zwillinge-Gemini's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

Zwillinge-Gemini is ranked 226,726th in the world and 5th in Zodiac Signs for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -1.79 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
