The United Democratic States of Fascist Democracy is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by President Black with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.701 billion Democracians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oakwood. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Democratic economy, worth a remarkable 1,804 trillion federal units a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 316,522 federal units, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,408,559 per year while the poor average 44,267, a ratio of 31.8 to 1.

Interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBFD Governor goes house hunting, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios, self-driving cars obey the road rules even during emergencies, and banned objects are regularly legalized if they've been successfully stolen from the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fascist Democracy's national animal is the fanged porcupine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Just Monika.

Fascist Democracy is ranked 1,253^rd in the world and 51^st in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 1.41 million Standard Monetary Units.
