The State of 14th is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.343 billion 14thians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The very strong 14thian economy, worth 495 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Average income is 59,405 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 210,276 per year while the poor average 12,117, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, all tariffs have been abolished, and 14th has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 14th's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

14th is ranked 61,957th in the world and 5th in Western Africa for Fattest Citizens, with 13.09 Obesity Rate.
