The Federation of Union of Allied Planets is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 16.635 billion Alliance Citizens are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Allied economy, worth a remarkable 1,892 trillion Alliance Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 113,783 Alliance Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 469,884 per year while the poor average 18,114, a ratio of 25.9 to 1.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, more and more people are signing up for the government party, withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats, and 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Union of Allied Planets's national animal is the turkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Union of Allied Planets is ranked 114,328^th in the world and 13^th in Union of Allied Planets for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,673.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
