The Royal Federation of United Dependencies is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dexter Grif with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 41.021 billion United Dependenciesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New London. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient United Dependenciesian economy, worth a remarkable 6,768 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,989 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, class boundaries start and end with the firmness of local tomatoes, shooting someone has never been safer, and music award shows include surprise polygraph segments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Dependencies's national animal is the Plott Hound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Methodist Christianity.

United Dependencies is ranked 11,501^st in the world and 3^rd in North Carolina for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 87.27 Effective Tax Rate.
