The Republic of English-Union is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Asoka with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed population of 9.84 billion English-Unioners have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zelienople. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient English-Unionian economy, worth a remarkable 1,624 trillion USDS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,074 USDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can't make an omelet without breaking a few legs, the little guy plays a big role in English-Unionian politics, the nation is known abroad mostly for its Parliamentary antics, and the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. English-Union's national animal is the Firefly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

English-Union is ranked 73,879^th in the world and 1^st in Nova Britannia Prima for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,860.07 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
