The Theocratic Federation of The United Holy Cantons is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Council of High Cardinals with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.08 billion United Holy Cantonians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Welfare receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lucerne. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving United Holy Cantonsian economy, worth 299 trillion swiss francs 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip 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 97,177 swiss francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diaper sales are up, The United Holy Cantons is suspiciously populated compared to its neighbors, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, and children get arrested for floating paper boats on lakes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United Holy Cantons's national animal is the ram, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

The United Holy Cantons is ranked 209,052nd in the world and 972nd in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -3.74 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
