The Democratic Republic of Common States is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Paris Jones with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.366 billion Common Statesians 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unity City. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Common Statesian economy, worth 967 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 180,174 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, coalition governments are essential to passing new laws, and cruise ships arrive in their dozens to watch cruise missile tests. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Common States's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Freedom of Religion.

Common States is ranked 26,720^th in the world and 13^th in United Commonwealth for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.1 percentage of bribes refused.
