The Republic of GU 27th Fleet is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.833 billion GU 27th Fleetians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The strong GU 27th Fleetian economy, worth 140 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 49,714 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, public enemies often walk home with spotless garments and crime records, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them. Crime is moderate. GU 27th Fleet's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

GU 27th Fleet is ranked 29,667^th in the world and 2^nd in accepts for Most Primitive, scoring 71.71 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
