The Republic of English-Union is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Asoka with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 9.882 billion English-Unioners have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zelienople. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient English-Unionian economy, worth a remarkable 1,636 trillion USDS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,651 USDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on President Asoka's desk, and foreign despots proudly bandstand on English-Unionian airwaves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. English-Union's national animal is the Firefly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

English-Union is ranked 90,793^rd in the world and 10^th in Nova Britannia Prima for Safest, scoring 87.79 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
