The Syndicalist Unions of Utym is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 856 million Utymics 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 83.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Utymic economy, worth 84.0 trillion pesos 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 98,076 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, and professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials. Crime is totally unknown. Utym's national animal is the racoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Utym is ranked 44,836^th in the world and 669^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.96 law-abiding acts per hour.
