The 162A16 of 162A16 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 37.405 billion 162A16ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient 162A16ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,106 trillion 162A16s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 29,590 162A16s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 162A16's national animal is the 162A16, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

162A16 is ranked 80,189th in the world and 1,746th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 90.43 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
