The Republic of GU 49th Fleet is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.421 billion GU 49th Fleetians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The strong GU 49th Fleetian economy, worth 377 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 58,832 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

A bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense, Leader's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, and the statue in the Reid Plaza has a solar panel for a hat. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. GU 49th Fleet's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

GU 49th Fleet is ranked 126,568^th in the world and 7^th in The Social Reforming Jump Point for Most Developed, scoring 57.75 on the Human Development Index.
