The Federation of Engine Unions is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its fear of technology, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 640 million Engine Unionists are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union Street. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Engine Unionist economy, worth 88.5 trillion Union State Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 138,227 Union State Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 785,012 per year while the poor average 11,874, a ratio of 66.1 to 1.

Meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials, society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, Representatives, Inc has sponsored bake sales and government bills, and the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Engine Unions's national animal is the beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Engine Unions is ranked 10,612^th in the world and 210^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,778.76 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
