The Twenty-Eight of 28 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, lack of airports, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 22.968 billion 28ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 28ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,735 trillion Golds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology. 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 an impressive 119,113 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, and the government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget'. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. 28's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

28 is ranked 47,515^th in the world and 2,586^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 34.57 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
