The Republic of U-914 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, avowedly heterosexual populace, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 18.415 billion U-914ians 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."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.5%.
The all-consuming U-914ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,850 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,493 $$s, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 483,672 per year while the poor average 12,165, a ratio of 39.8 to 1.
Drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, and recreational drug businesses are regularly pruned if they grow above the maximum legal size. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. U-914's national animal is the laughing swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
