The Queendom of 1870 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 528 million 1870ians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant 1870ian economy, worth 8.94 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Tourism. Average income is 16,924 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's most popular sport is sabotaging foreigners' hopes and dreams, class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, and overhead luggage compartments on planes sometimes conceal diminutive intelligence officers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1870's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

1870 is ranked 324,706^th in the world and 16,695^th in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 43.98 on the Human Development Index.
