The Federation of The Unified Republics is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.608 billion Unified Republicsians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silicon Valley. The average income tax rate is 7.7%.

The powerhouse Unified Republicsian economy, worth 528 trillion rosts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 94,185 rosts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room, all beauty contests have been banned, everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, and criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. The Unified Republics's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Unified Republics is ranked 127,916^th in the world and 5,393^rd in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 5.61 billion capita.
