The Republic of GU 73rd Fleet is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning squirrel population. The quiet, industrious population of 5.427 billion GU 73rd Fleetians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The GU 73rd Fleetian economy, worth 211 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 38,904 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

An epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, Violetist maidens who fall for an outsider must leave their violet light districts in shame, and voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary. Crime is moderate. GU 73rd Fleet's national animal is the squirrel.

GU 73rd Fleet is ranked 219,322^nd in the world and 2^nd in Bonk for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring zero on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
