The Federation of Engine Unions is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 613 million Engine Unionists are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union Street. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Engine Unionist economy, worth 86.0 trillion Union State Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 140,218 Union State Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 785,645 per year while the poor average 12,417, a ratio of 63.3 to 1.

Primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, Engine Unions is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, politicians are fired for opening subjective statements with "I believe", and juries are mostly made up of wealthy busybodies and ex-convicts. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Engine Unions's national animal is the beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Engine Unions is ranked 308,618^th in the world and 4,644^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -12.25 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
