The Republic of GU 71st Fleet is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 1.464 billion GU 71st Fleetians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The GU 71st Fleetian economy, worth 59.4 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,564 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, foreign lack of enthusiasm for GU 71st Fleetian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, and foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of GU 71st Fleet. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GU 71st Fleet's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

GU 71st Fleet is ranked 164,409^th in the world and 2,722^nd in Artificial Solar System for Most Authoritarian, with 642.07 milliStalins.
