The Republic of 29 February is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, lack of airports, and suspicion of poets. The devout population of 431 million 29 Februaryians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Administration, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.3%.

The sizeable but inefficient 29 Februaryian economy, worth 12.5 trillion Cards a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,073 Cards, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested, cities in 29 February declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. 29 February's national animal is the Card, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

29 February is ranked 222,962^nd in the world and 65^th in Calendar for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 722.18 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
