The Federal Republic of Big Unc is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 297 million Big Uncians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Big Uncian economy, worth 3.78 trillion nutlick halls 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 led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 12,738 nutlick halls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ghost regiments exist only on paper, elections have been outlawed, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Big Unc's national animal is the Lucas Pork, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Big Unc is ranked 305,464^th in the world and 2^nd in The Darwin Allied Republics for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 772.63 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
