The Protectorate of The UCN InfoCentre is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Board of Elders with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.736 billion UCN InfoCentreans 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Jerusalem. The average income tax rate is 19.6%.

The UCN InfoCentrean economy, worth 213 trillion Sheckels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,089 Sheckels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Economists claim no news is good news, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, and kindergarten teachers with ankle-bracelets are closely supervised by their parole officers. Crime is totally unknown. The UCN InfoCentre's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

The UCN InfoCentre is ranked 60,771^st in the world and 43^rd in Union of Christian Nations for Most Beautiful Environments, with 623.89 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
