The Royal Federation of United Dependencies is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dexter Grif with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 35.776 billion United Dependenciesians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New London. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient United Dependenciesian economy, worth a remarkable 5,881 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,408 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Theoretical science is only theoretical, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, the blood, sweat, and tears of poor United Dependenciesians make research institutes rich, and the New London Pride Parade's head banner explains how unionizing is heteronormative. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Dependencies's national animal is the Plott Hound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Methodist Christianity.

United Dependencies is ranked 5,081^st in the world and 1^st in North Carolina for Lowest Crime Rates, with 116.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
