The Republic of United Repub1ic is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by High Earle with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, devout population of 7.736 billion United Republicans 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ericburg. The average income tax rate is 58.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient United Repub1ician economy, worth a remarkable 1,060 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,043 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A shipwreck is everyone's fault but the captain's, United Repub1ician diplomacy is by the book, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, and airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Repub1ic's national animal is the Emerald Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is the United Holy Temple.

United Repub1ic is ranked 14,082^nd in the world and 370^th in The East Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 138.98 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
