The Empire of States United as One is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Ricardo Alexander Lopez II with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The humorless, devout population of 8.822 billion Kandorians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kandor. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kandorian economy, worth 868 trillion Kandas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,393 Kandas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Brancalandian is the primary spoken language at most major tech companies, the tightness of border controls in States United as One leave a little to be desired, grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, and citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. States United as One's national animal is the Eagle and its national religion is Christianity.

States United as One is ranked 88,068^th in the world and 2^nd in Jordia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
