The Republic of The Christian Democratic Union is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, fear of technology, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 973 million Christian Democratic Unionians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaticano. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Christian Democratic Unionian economy, worth 64.6 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,392 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government runs a surplus by selling its citizens, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on The Christian Democratic Union, the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Christian Democratic Union's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Christian Democratic Union is ranked 83,958^th in the world and 7^th in United Confederation of Planets for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 3,129.23 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
