The Republic of 073-UB is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 965 million 073-UBians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.
The strong 073-UBian economy, worth 46.4 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 48,109 pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 310,067 per year while the poor average 3,015, a ratio of 102 to 1.
Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 073-UB's national animal is the leopard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
073-UB is ranked 117,682nd in the world and 47th in thundria for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 78.42 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
