The Federation of The Universal Hegemony is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 294 million Universal Hegemonyians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.
The very strong Universal Hegemonyian economy, worth 21.7 trillion Atlantic Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 73,865 Atlantic Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 213,920 per year while the poor average 20,211, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

The Universal Hegemony's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
