“Respect for all those that Respect”

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

The Republic of United Citizens is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.063 billion United Citizensians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harmony. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient United Citizensian economy, worth 552 trillion Kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,157 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The United Citizens Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', United Citizensians submit requests for a date in writing with an enclosed RSVP card, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and refugees from other nations are flocking to United Citizens's border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Citizens's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

United Citizens is ranked 210,649^th in the world and 3,380^th in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 278.75 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
