The Sovereign Union of Uspeon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Majestic Four with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 15.76 billion Unnaki are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illumina. The average income tax rate is 9.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Unnaki economy, worth a remarkable 4,762 trillion Terras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 302,161 Terras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's stance on marriage is 'Let Unnaki marry themselves', bombs are permitted on planes for the 'security of the passengers', the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Uspeon's national animal is the Silver Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Philosoism.

Uspeon is ranked 8,517^th in the world and 1^st in Distant Worlds for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
