The Dominion of THE 75 UNION is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 166 million 75 UNIONians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant 75 UNIONian economy, worth 2.33 trillion Kalks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 14,030 Kalks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, hammer and sickle-wielding space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, and elections have been outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. THE 75 UNION's national animal is the Magnapinna, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

THE 75 UNION is ranked 250,227^th in the world and 93^rd in Byzantion for Largest Populations, with 166 million capita.
