The Social-Federal Commonwealth of Unified Republics is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Council Chair Amber Fairfield with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 13.332 billion Commonwealthers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Laurels. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Commonwealthite economy, worth a remarkable 2,030 trillion Pretias a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 152,322 Pretias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, and citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unified Republics's national animal is the Common Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State Secularism.

Unified Republics is ranked 4,148^th in the world and 2^nd in North America for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 96.3 Effective Tax Rate.
