The Republic of GU 16th Fleet is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 6.819 billion GU 16th Fleetians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.1%.

The very strong GU 16th Fleetian economy, worth 314 trillion francs a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,118 francs, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens, a historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, billions of francs are being poured into a space program, and odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GU 16th Fleet's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

GU 16th Fleet is ranked 102,891^st in the world and 1^st in The Social Reforming Jump Point for Most Developed, scoring 60.79 on the Human Development Index.
