The Off-World Colony of Union Aerospace Corporation

“Leading the Way to a Better Future”

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

The Off-World Colony of Union Aerospace Corporation is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lucien Killinger with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, anti-smoking policies, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 27.861 billion UAC Employees have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Environment are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mars City. The average income tax rate is 9.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The UAC Employed economy, worth a remarkable 2,204 trillion Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,120 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

People talk about things being better when men were men, owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning, only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise Lucien Killinger on Union Aerospace Corporation's coulrophobia epidemic, and camera crews have accompanied conscripted dancers to film 'Marching On Ice'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Union Aerospace Corporation's national animal is the Buttless Sponge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Universalism.

Union Aerospace Corporation is ranked 32,748^th in the world and 406^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
