“In the Service of Peace and Freedom”

The Socialist Federal Republic of Royal Usha is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Premier Xiomar Reinhart with an even hand, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.069 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shandarious. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Automobile Manufacturing.

A crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, reports of arsonism have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service, the nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Royal Usha's national animal is the Golden Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Ushan Mark.

Royal Usha is ranked 11th in the region and 4,234th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
