The Federation of The Union of Sovereign Republics is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Derek with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, flagrant waste-dumping, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.329 billion USR Citzens live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Sovereignty. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.2%.

The frighteningly efficient USR economy, worth a remarkable 2,603 trillion USRDS a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 211,163 USRDS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 748,771 per year while the poor average 42,956, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, the justice of The Union of Sovereign Republics is considered superior to that of other nations, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Union of Sovereign Republics's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Union of Sovereign Republics is ranked 54,232^nd in the world and 108^th in Capitalist Paradise for Most Influential, scoring 796 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
