The Federation of Unionised States is a huge, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 356 million Union Workers 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Unionised economy, worth 21.6 trillion Labour-Hours a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 60,599 Labour-Hours, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political candidates must be personally vetted by Leader, the tragedy of the commons is being tested nationwide but everyone says it's somebody else's problem, Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, and both vegetables and viruses are often smuggled across the border. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unionised States's national animal is the Black Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Unionised States is ranked 39,316^th in the world and 595^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
