The United Socialist States of UNIOS is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The UNIOS Federal Council with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 5.612 billion UNIOSians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hridayam. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient UNIOSian economy, worth 722 trillion Nayas 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 128,745 Nayas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, nine out of ten citizens of UNIOS answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation, and colleges adhere to rigid ethnic quotas for admissions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. UNIOS's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Reflectionism.

UNIOS is ranked 260,592^nd in the world and 457^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Drug Use, scoring 46.77 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
