The Radioactive Desert of Union of Nuclear Republics is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9.318 billion Union of Nuclear Republicsians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Union of Nuclear Republicsian economy, worth 323 trillion rubledollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 34,703 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, organ donation is compulsory, genetic researchers have been expelled, and a government program is underway to revitalize Union of Nuclear Republics's beaches.
