The People's Republic of The United and Free is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.27 billion the peoples are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Egalite'. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped United and Freean economy, worth 56.4 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 44,372 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, and teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United and Free's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The United and Free is ranked 45,723^rd in the world and 2,319^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,690.72 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
