The Fading Light of The Last Unicorn is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 2.173 billion Unicorns are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Unicornish economy, worth 105 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, Gambling, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 48,443 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, detrimental health conditions can be a political death sentence, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and it's rare to find an unchewed pencil. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Last Unicorn's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Last Unicorn is ranked 216,113^th in the world and 7^th in Star Trek for Most Secular, with 15.29 Atheism Rate.
