The Republic of GU 72nd Fleet is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.646 billion GU 72nd Fleetians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 16.2%.

The strong GU 72nd Fleetian economy, worth 88.0 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 53,448 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, and biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GU 72nd Fleet's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

GU 72nd Fleet is ranked 33,934^th in the world and 1^st in Pacific North Coast Chinese Revolutionar for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 6,411.18 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
