The Republic of The United Common

“Through science peace can be achieved”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of The United Common is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by CENTRAL with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 17.446 billion Commons are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The 29 Acres Facility. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Common economy, worth a remarkable 1,938 trillion National Gold Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,126 National Gold Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The banshee wail foretells skies of death, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, and military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United Common's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The United Common is ranked 218,516^th in the world and 7,503^rd in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 9,112.38 Standard Monetary Units.
