The Republic of Free People Union is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.849 billion Unionians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 28.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Unionian economy, worth 733 trillion Ounces of gold a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 93,465 Ounces of gold, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. Crime is almost non-existent. Free People Union's national animal is the Radscorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Free People Union is ranked 225,430th in the world and 721st in Europeia for Most Stationary, with 27.214045083 days.
