The Federation of Planetary United is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service and ubiquitous missile silos. The devout population of 1.89 billion Planetary Unitedians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Planetary Unitedian economy, worth 84.1 trillion univers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,474 univers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, the swagger of covering up is unparalleled, and pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Planetary United's national animal is the seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Planetary United is ranked 241,927^th in the world and 375^th in Starlight for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 993.39 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
