The Colony of Userite Free Future is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its teetotalling pirates, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.427 billion Pacificans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 58.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Userite Free Futurean economy, worth a remarkable 2,161 trillion denarii 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. 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 140,143 denarii, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists, only "purebloods" are allowed in the nicer parts of town, wrongdoers cite 'mummy issues' as the reason for their delinquency, and tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Userite Free Future's national animal is the Franco, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Userite Free Future is ranked 256,723rd in the world and 8th in Thoughtfulness for Lowest Crime Rates, with 49.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
