The Watchfires of Unify-1 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 28.211 billion Unify-1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.3%.

The all-consuming Unify-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,789 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,888 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", the New Unify-1ian Thesaurus lists "love" and "oppress" as synonyms, and the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unify-1's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Unify-1 is ranked 41,862^nd in the world and 1^st in Niagara Falls for Most Developed, scoring 79.43 on the Human Development Index.
