The Democratic States of United Region Alliance is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Ellenburg with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, lack of airports, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.562 billion United Region Allianceans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of United City. The average income tax rate is 41.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong United Region Alliancean economy, worth 634 trillion deniers a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,382 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box, kindergartners love the free balloons that their schools give them, people spend a lot on hair and nails, and punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Region Alliance's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

United Region Alliance is ranked 67,395^th in the world and 1^st in URA for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,518.04 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
