The Confederacy of Undivulged Principles is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 20.039 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, and much of Undivulged Principles's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Undivulged Principles's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Silver Seer.

Undivulged Principles is ranked 31st in Eladen and 101,191st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -63 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
