The Republic of GU 46th Division is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.373 billion GU 46th Divisionians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 15.5%.

The GU 46th Divisionian economy, worth 294 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 54,822 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia, and doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GU 46th Division's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

GU 46th Division is ranked 142,041^st in the world and 1,052^nd in Artificial Solar System for Largest Black Market, with 1.29 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
