The Pegasus of Guard 24 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.59 billion Guard 24ians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Public Transport, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.7%.

The strong Guard 24ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,237 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 44,864 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 305,022 per year while the poor average 2,410, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem. Guard 24's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
