The Union of City States Nation is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by JR Ewing with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 23.962 billion City Staters are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reading. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient City States Nationian economy, worth an astonishing 10,117 trillion Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 422,247 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, JR Ewing's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, and the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. City States Nation's national animal is the Armadillo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Industrialism.

City States Nation is ranked 137,430th in the world and 2,498th in The East Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,817.95 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
