The Social-Federal Commonwealth of Unified Republics is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Council Chair Amber Fairfield with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 13.342 billion Commonwealthers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Laurels. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Commonwealthite economy, worth a remarkable 2,032 trillion Pretias a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 152,322 Pretias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, and citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unified Republics's national animal is the Common Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State Secularism.

Unified Republics is ranked 329,986^th in the world and 36^th in North America for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -20.07 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
