The Social-Federal Commonwealth of Unified Republics is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Davie N Gilmer with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 13.078 billion Commonwealthers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Laurels. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Commonwealthite economy, worth a remarkable 1,932 trillion Pretias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 147,790 Pretias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A flying elephant and President Davie N Gilmer share the same nickname, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from President Davie N Gilmer's throne. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unified Republics's national animal is the Common Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State Secularism.

Unified Republics is ranked 288,513^th in the world and 50^th in North America for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -19.32 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
