The Democratic Republic of Unitedstan is a very large, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 282 million Unitedstanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Unitedstanian economy, worth 12.2 trillion Tangas 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 43,292 Tangas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum, billions of Tangas are being blown on orbital weapons development, Leopards that venture near secret military bases are shipped off to prison for espionage, and edutainment video games are taking Unitedstan's students to the next level. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unitedstan's national animal is the Leopard , which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Unitedstan is ranked 137,655^th in the world and 534^th in Concord for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,191.76 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
