The Republic of The unified people of hellas is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Stefanos with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.183 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Defence are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Uranium Mining.

Meat-eating is frowned upon, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare, and the The unified people of hellas Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The unified people of hellas's national animal is the Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Drachma.

The unified people of hellas is ranked 337th in Europe and 87,245th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -20 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
