The Free Land of Common Union of the States V2 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by John Smith IV with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.975 billion CUS hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Education and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Smithville. The average income tax rate is 41.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The thriving CUSian economy, worth 553 trillion sralloDs a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,503 sralloDs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in John Smith IV's bedroom, pet rocks are sold by the pound, and a chain of pubs that cater solely to children has recently been unveiled. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Common Union of the States V2's national animal is the Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Common Union of the States V2 is ranked 94,842nd in the world and 21st in Red Wolf Alliance for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,633.46 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
