The Universal Union of The V O I D is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Overseer Galdon with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 27.147 billion Voidborne are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Complex. The average income tax rate is 73.8%.

The all-consuming Voidborne economy, worth a remarkable 6,011 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 221,448 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Sex changes are routinely performed at The V O I D's hospitals, the atmosphere in Voidborne boardrooms is turning more gay, men avoid even so much as looking at female colleagues, and new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The V O I D's national animal is the Entity, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Voidism.

The V O I D is ranked 308,308^th in the world and 12,687^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 0.25 average smiles per day.
