The People's Republic of Twinstin is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Brian J with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.992 billion Twinstons 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phoenix. The average income tax rate is 86.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Twinsten economy, worth 361 trillion Twinstinian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 120,833 Twinstinian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Twinsten Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, and party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twinstin's national animal is the Rattle Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

Twinstin is ranked 18,463^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Axis Community for Largest Governments, scoring 31.21 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
