The Democracy of The Universe World is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 20.732 billion Universals 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Universe Worldian economy, worth 902 trillion Universal Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,533 Universal Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, and foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Universe World's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Universe World is ranked 101,378^th in the world and 5^th in The Great Universe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,041.77 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
