The Republic of Twin Felonwort is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 8.272 billion Twin Felonwortians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Twin Felonwortian economy, worth 72.6 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 8,777 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and a major religion has been named as Twin Felonwort's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twin Felonwort's national animal is the elephant.

Twin Felonwort is ranked 97,835th in the world and 89th in Gay for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
