The Republic of Cwh299 is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.75 billion Cwh299ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cwh299ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,032 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. 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 179,646 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, and Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cwh299's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cwh299 is ranked 309,214^th in the world and 378^th in Crestwood Heights for Highest Drug Use, scoring 11.81 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
