The Commonwealth of The Unied Congress is a small, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7 million are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The minute government, or what there is of one, devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A robust private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Cheese Exports and Information Technology.
Voting is voluntary and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime is a major problem. The Unied Congress's national animal is the dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dannys.
