The Emirate of GU 70th Marine Battalion is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 4.692 billion GU 70th Marine Battalionians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 19.9%.

The strong GU 70th Marine Battalionian economy, worth 229 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 48,835 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Parrots with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, and veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days. Crime is moderate. GU 70th Marine Battalion's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

GU 70th Marine Battalion is ranked 168,158^th in the world and 1^st in Holy John Three for Most Developed, scoring 54.39 on the Human Development Index.
