Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Federational Monarch of United Federation of the World is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Supreme King Myers and God above him with an iron fist, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.057 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fulshia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology industries.

The government has enacted freedom of information, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, police officers have nearly cracked a major underage astronomy syndicate, and only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. United Federation of the World's national animal is the Hydra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Christanity, and its currency is the Doller.

United Federation of the World is ranked 1st in Region of Tamriel and 5,942nd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 11 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
