The Republic of Unitria is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Solaris Arenno with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 4.35 billion Unitrians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mercadia. The average income tax rate is 90.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Unitrian economy, worth 860 trillion credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,891 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Members of ethnic minorities are more often called "boy" or "girl" than by their actual names, military spending is on the increase, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, and corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unitria's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Unitria is ranked 10,847th in the world and 259th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,777.07 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
