The Republic of Unikon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hammerhead with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 27.686 billion Unikonians 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unikon City. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Unikonian economy, worth a remarkable 9,126 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 329,657 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', and Big Brother is still watching even when your big brother is dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unikon's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Unikon is ranked 8,962^nd in the world and 11^th in Absolution for Lowest Crime Rates, with 103.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
