The People's Republic of CSX-12 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.071 billion CSX-12ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The CSX-12ian economy, worth 95.7 trillion ouguiyas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,206 ouguiyas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 160,999 per year while the poor average 9,655, a ratio of 16.7 to 1.

The mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, every workday begins with group therapy, grumpy old house owners demand that pedestrians get off their footpaths, and busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. CSX-12's national animal is the blackbird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

CSX-12 is ranked 185,539^th in the world and 7^th in Horrible Badness for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.9 percentage of bribes refused.
