The Colony of TIUNION33 is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 18.357 billion TIUNION33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 15.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient TIUNION33ian economy, worth 723 trillion Citas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,436 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. TIUNION33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

TIUNION33 is ranked 247,800^th in the world and 1^st in The Island Union for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,848.34 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
