The Royal Federation of United Dependencies is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Dexter Grif with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 40.972 billion United Dependenciesians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New London. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient United Dependenciesian economy, worth a remarkable 6,765 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,132 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Airlines are reporting record profits from their new 'bread and water' service, a century of peace does not preclude peace negotiations, Dexter Grif's reputation is hard as nails, and deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Dependencies's national animal is the Plott Hound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Methodist Christianity.

United Dependencies is ranked 311,875^th in the world and 9^th in North Carolina for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
