The Watchfires of Unify-1 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, devout population of 28.127 billion Unify-1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.3%.

The all-consuming Unify-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,781 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,888 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", the New Unify-1ian Thesaurus lists "love" and "oppress" as synonyms, and the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unify-1's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Unify-1 is ranked 72,381^st in the world and 1^st in Niagara Falls for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 59.27 Effective Tax Rate.
