The Community of UniversalDesign is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 407 million UniversalDesignians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant UniversalDesignian economy, worth 4.90 trillion Fulcrums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 12,029 Fulcrums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. UniversalDesign's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

UniversalDesign is ranked 38,787^th in the world and 30^th in Neocortex for Safest, scoring 106.1 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
