The Soviet republic of Islands of unity is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by henry farkman with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.648 billion Islanders love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of central island. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The all-consuming unityian economy, worth a remarkable 1,493 trillion Ycnerrucs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 140,271 Ycnerrucs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Winceyette robes are a popular wedding gift, bemused schoolkids colour in their favourite quadratic equations with crayons, school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, and first-time moms are expected to be experienced parents from day one.

Islands of unity's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
