The Republic of GU 6th Fleet is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.357 billion GU 6th Fleetians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 11.8%.

The GU 6th Fleetian economy, worth 331 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 45,121 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, supermarkets must refund spoilt milk even six months after the sale, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", and serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk. Crime is relatively low. GU 6th Fleet's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

GU 6th Fleet is ranked 110,094th in the world and 380th in Artificial Solar System for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
