The Republic of GU 88th Fleet is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning beaver population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.371 billion GU 88th Fleetians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 22.1%.

The GU 88th Fleetian economy, worth 244 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 45,513 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, and people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GU 88th Fleet's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

GU 88th Fleet is ranked 177,051^st in the world and 1^st in UGSU for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,068.22 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
