The Empire of Unitland is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 180 million Unitlandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Unitlandian economy, worth 8.19 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 45,506 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, fruit vendors are encouraging a life of crime in their advertising, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unitland's national animal is the Bogbird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Unitland is ranked 170,232^nd in the world and 1^st in National Community For Disease Control for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 251.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
