Old World Union is a medium-sized region, with a thriving community of 17 nations and only 5 World Assembly Members.
In Old World Union, denizens enjoy their civil rights, although not too much, or too freely. Nations in the region are healthy democracies, with denizens being afforded an extensive array of political freedoms. Families in the region are so obsessed with the economy that the discussion of laffer curves and supply-side reforms over dinner is a regular occurrence in member nations. Denizens suffer under an enormous tax burden throughout the region, with a median tax rate of 61%, and much higher for the wealthy. The economies of nations in the region tend to be heavily weighted towards the public sector, with on average only 35% of the economy comprising the private sector. Stoking commercial activity is a major priority for governments, accounting for an average of 9% of public expenditure.
Education is a priority for governments throughout Old World Union, with ample funding being provided and teachers enjoying a great deal of support. The region's law enforcement officials try hard to combat a relatively high level of crime, but are hampered by a lack of funding.

Public transport is an afterthought, with only 2% of total government budgets in the region being devoted to it.
Governments in Old World Union communicate very well amongst themselves, with administration departments working smoothly, with 6% on average of government budgets being devoted to Administration.
