The People's Republic of The Micro Union is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Neo with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 14.481 billion Micro Unionians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Makasta. The average income tax rate is 79.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Micro Unionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,029 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 140,148 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Micro Unionians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, many friends and relatives of Neo have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, and clerics are taught that silence is golden and duct tape is silver. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Micro Union's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is nekosim nyah.

The Micro Union is ranked 83,823^rd in the world and 11^th in The Micro Union for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,595.59 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
