The Federation of Unionised States is a huge, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 484 million Union Workers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Unionised economy, worth 31.9 trillion Labour-Hours a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 65,813 Labour-Hours, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, the government is paving paradises to put up parking lots, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, and radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unionised States's national animal is the Black Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Unionised States is ranked 284,516^th in the world and 1,324^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Patriotic, with 0.37 flags saluted per person per day.
