The World Government of United Earth is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Federal Council with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.614 billion Earthlings have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient United Earth economy, worth a remarkable 4,865 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 292,879 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, stuttering trypanophobes are doomed never to marry, there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime is totally unknown. United Earth's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

United Earth is ranked 22,543^rd in the world and 1,475^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
