The Crown Realms of The Green Union is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Interim KP Government with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, hatred of cheese, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.585 billion Loyalists love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Himmelsdorf. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Loyalist economy, worth a remarkable 2,671 trillion Marks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,761 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, The Green Union recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and anyone can get ahead in life if they want to. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Green Union's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Green Union is ranked 11,541st in the world and 3rd in Markion for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,455.17 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
