The Light at the End of UIJ is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Azavir with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.927 billion Hooshers are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Azavirs Gamer Crib. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ha'Hosh economy, worth a remarkable 2,561 trillion Hooshie Snacks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,549 Hooshie Snacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, and the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. UIJ's national animal is the Jano, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

UIJ is ranked 99,521st in the world and 15th in The United Islands of the Atlantic for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,846.11 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
