The Federation of The Union of Sovereign Republics is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Derek with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, flagrant waste-dumping, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.01 billion USR Citzens enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Sovereignty. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.2%.

The frighteningly efficient USR economy, worth a remarkable 3,373 trillion USR Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 210,695 USR Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 685,356 per year while the poor average 48,801, a ratio of 14.0 to 1.

Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, dictionary sales have hit an all-time high, a rusted hulk in New Sovereignty harbour has been voted the worst eyesore in Capitalist Paradise, and children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Union of Sovereign Republics's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Union of Sovereign Republics is ranked 1,579^th in the world and 25^th in Capitalist Paradise for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 208,166.83 Standard Monetary Units.
