The Federation of United IV is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.553 billion United IVians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.1%.

The strong United IVian economy, worth 817 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 44,046 Euros, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 299,464 per year while the poor average 2,366, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem. United IV's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

United IV is ranked 261,235^th in the world and 5^th in United Society for Lowest Crime Rates, with 45.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
