The Commonwealth of Progressive Union is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Jude Connors with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 6.217 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Connorston. The average income tax rate is 99%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and Owl is one of the most popular forenames in Progressive Union. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Progressive Union's national animal is the Owl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Mark.

Progressive Union is ranked 2nd in RadioStar and 62,585th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 115 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
