The Republic of Union of Love is a behemoth, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, complete lack of prisons, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 50.193 billion Union of Loveans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union of Love City. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Union of Lovean economy, worth a remarkable 9,042 trillion unions a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 180,146 unions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Tesco was recently named as the new national treasurer, government-run brothels can be found on every street corner, seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, and the government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Union of Love's national animal is the Black Caique, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Union of Love is ranked 3,395^th in the world and 9^th in Portugal for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 9,869.38 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
