The Red of Unified Werfonds is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Liu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.521 billion Unified Werfondsians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.
The all-consuming Unified Werfondsian economy, worth 697 trillion Trees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 92,775 Trees, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 295,555 per year while the poor average 22,155, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.
Dissidents are commonly labelled as baby-killers, the "blue screen of death" forces many trials to be either aborted or restarted, Liu has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences, and supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Unified Werfonds's national animal is the Vulture-Falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Unified Werfonds is ranked 238,718th in the world and 3rd in Verilisis for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
