The Goolean Union of USIG is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Inspector JB Smith with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.021 billion USIGmas hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gooledom. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient USIGian economy, worth 490 trillion Gooles a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,069 Gooles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military pistols are more secure than the national treasury, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, there's no representation without taxation, and vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. USIG's national animal is the Bee, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

USIG is ranked 69,992nd in the world and 1st in Bellfields for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,948.52 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
