The Republic of GU 29th Fleet is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 6.792 billion GU 29th Fleetians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 15.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient GU 29th Fleetian economy, worth 219 trillion bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,322 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Parents are relieved they no longer need to help with their kids' algebra homework, gym teachers instruct advanced-level calculus classes, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of GU 29th Fleet's radio stations, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GU 29th Fleet's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

GU 29th Fleet is ranked 252,137^th in the world and 31^st in The Social Reforming Jump Point for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
