The Allied States of Undertake40 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its lack of airports, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.445 billion Undertake40ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 49.0%.

The strong Undertake40ian economy, worth 246 trillion tails a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,465 tails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers get their license without taking the test, citizens often glare angrily at jet contrails, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, and increasing numbers of children in Undertake40 have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Undertake40's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Undertake40 is ranked 147,145^th in the world and 3^rd in Deep State Nine for Smartest Citizens, with 30.28 quips per hour.
