The Republic of Univercity is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its parental licensing program, lack of airports, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.469 billion Univercityians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Education, with Industry also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Univercityian economy, worth a remarkable 1,491 trillion currencies a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Woodchip Exports industry. Average income is an amazing 230,631 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers, straight-edges are forced to collect rain water to avoid getting high off the water supply, and members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Univercity's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Univercity is ranked 289,520th in the world and 17th in Vickenian experiment containment zone for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -26.6 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
