The Republic of Univercity is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its aversion to nipples, infamous sell-swords, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.977 billion Univercityians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Education, with Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Defense aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Univercityian economy, worth a remarkable 2,023 trillion currencies a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 253,661 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Univercityians are free from pain - but the side effects include loss of individual thought and freedom, people forget to eat because they are too busy singing Leader's praises, the only trips Univercityians are allowed to take are the ones caused by hallucinogens, and strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Univercity's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Univercity is ranked 329,115th in the world and 13th in Vickenian experiment containment zone for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -19.34 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
