The Republic of You 19 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ban on automobiles, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed population of 8.916 billion You 19ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 50.7%.

The You 19ian economy, worth 445 trillion bitcoins 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 black market in Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. 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 49,958 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair, search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, and patriots insist that size does matter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. You 19's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

You 19 is ranked 101,046th in the world and 276th in Dead Sea for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
