The Theocracy of The United Way is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chief Coalescence Miriam Goodwinson with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.848 billion Faithfuls 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, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Grand Temple. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Faithful economy, worth a remarkable 1,057 trillion Brotherly Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,413 Brotherly Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Cosy TV sitcom "AI Love Lucy" showcases harmonious human-robot cohabitation, motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", people who do not complete their community service are sentenced to more community service, and 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The United Way's national animal is the Gorlak Void Swimmer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Way.

The United Way is ranked 10,205th in the world and 3rd in Weyard for Highest Food Quality, scoring 159.6 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
