The State of Universal State is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 18.224 billion Universal Stateans 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 Welfare, although Industry and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Universal Statean economy, worth 738 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 40,511 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 275,425 per year while the poor average 2,176, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Universal State has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Universal State in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Universal State's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Universal State is ranked 261,376^th in the world and 16^th in Massachusetts for Safest, scoring 12.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
