The Democratic Republic of Global Trade Union is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.118 billion Global Trade Unionians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Global Trade city. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Global Trade Unionian economy, worth 156 trillion Aurions a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 140,016 Aurions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels, the government is avowedly secular, the government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code, and the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Global Trade Union's national animal is the Moose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Global Trade Union is ranked 9,808^th in the world and 396^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 90.67 on the Human Development Index.
