The Mercenary state of Unitech is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Mitchell Hans II with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.26 billion Unitechians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Military Base Abrams. The average income tax rate is 22.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Unitechian economy, worth 64.2 trillion Bullets a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,928 Bullets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Retail stores have reported mile-long lines after the ban on video games was lifted, State atheism has been named as Unitech's national religion, people caught mistreating Unitech's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, and more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unitech's national animal is the Falcon and its national religion is State atheism.

Unitech is ranked 193,207^th in the world and 3,688^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 44.67 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
