The Republic of Custodian 49 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning Partisan population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 25.608 billion Custodian 49ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Social Policy, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 31.9%.

The Custodian 49ian economy, worth 952 trillion Partisans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 37,194 Partisans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Custodian 49's national animal is the Partisan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Custodian 49 is ranked 164,152^nd in the world and 1^st in The Holy Empire for Highest Food Quality, scoring 14.37 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
