The Kingdom of United Provin is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Hezekiah Elimelech I with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 8.046 billion Provians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Healthcare, although Defense, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crown City. The average income tax rate is 63.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Provian economy, worth 547 trillion Provian Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 68,047 Provian Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young adults still believe that Elephants deliver newborns to expecting parents, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, and newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Provin's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.

United Provin is ranked 56,980^th in the world and 12^th in The Great Experiment for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
