The Humongous Unity of HU is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service, disturbing lack of elderly people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.857 billion HUians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 55.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong HUian economy, worth 296 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 76,800 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, HU is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HU's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HU is ranked 71,763rd in the world and 3,991st in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,608.93 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
