The Free Land of Unknown Power is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 40 million Unknown Powerians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Unknown Powerian economy, worth 516 billion Gonzagas 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 Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 12,903 Gonzagas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation is compulsory, the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unknown Power's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Unknown Power is ranked 97,190^th in the world and 2,804^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
