The Free Land of United Areacks is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 898 million United Areacksians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 78.7%.

The frighteningly efficient United Areacksian economy, worth 107 trillion dollars 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 Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. 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 an impressive 120,254 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and Leader has been known to make speeches in fishing waders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. United Areacks's national animal is the Lutra Lutra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

United Areacks is ranked 78,019th in the world and 15th in USSD for Most Patriotic, with 18.03 flags saluted per person per day.
