The Coalition of Universal Corporations is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Corporate Executive Officer with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.648 billion Universal Corporationsians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital City - Brought to you MaxiCorp. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Universal Corporationsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,075 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 190,364 Credits, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 994,952 per year while the poor average 19,573, a ratio of 50.8 to 1.

Theoretical science is only theoretical, an increasing number of citizens believe the world is flat, explosive diarrhoea is not just a colorful phrase, and The Corporate Executive Officer has killer fashion sense. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Universal Corporations's national animal is the Rivenrock Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Universal Corporations is ranked 256,390^th in the world and 1^st in The Collective Coalition of Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 48.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
