The United Socialist States of The Meme Union is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Joseph Stunin with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.034 billion Reddit Users are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Discord City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.3%.

The all-consuming Meme Unionian economy, worth 322 trillion Memes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 158,560 Memes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 535,742 per year while the poor average 34,709, a ratio of 15.4 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, military spending recently hit a new high, adults hang around outside comic stores to ask kids to go and buy magazines for them, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Meme Union's national animal is the EggDog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is RNGesus.

The Meme Union is ranked 41,138^th in the world and 10^th in Communist Allied Defense Organization for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,600.36 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
