The Democratic Republic of United Cities of Australia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Melyaj Vijsopj II with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, avowedly heterosexual populace, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 13.16 billion Cityens 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vennc Yohc. The average income tax rate is 83.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Cityen economy, worth a remarkable 1,776 trillion Jhels a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 134,961 Jhels, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, there are no more heroes any more, citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, and prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Cities of Australia's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Islam and Christianity.

United Cities of Australia is ranked 9,681^st in the world and 1^st in Australia Continent for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
