The Federal Republic of The Highland Union is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by PM Paul DeGraff with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 7.08 billion Highlanders enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warwick. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Highlandic economy, worth a remarkable 1,058 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,535 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, the "right of sanctuary" stops police pursuit into temples and churches, defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Highland Union's national animal is the gryphon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Highland Union is ranked 14,567th in the world and 628th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 103 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
