The Semi-Radioactive Delegate of East Union is a massive, devout nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.904 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Religion & Spirituality, although Commerce and Social Equality are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 37%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology industries.

A major religion has been named as East Union's national religion, the new prison system is crowding up at an alarming rate, cars speed down national highways while drivers sleep at the wheel, and the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. East Union's national animal is the Chives, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the DoubleU.

East Union is ranked 97th in New York and 73,638th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
