The Democratic Republic of Uldar Union is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Senate with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.827 billion Uldarians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lisboa. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Uldarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,434 trillion Uriuprings 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 significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 210,184 Uriuprings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Uriupring treacle machine, surveillance cameras are banned, the nation leads Lazarus in per capita stalking, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uldar Union's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Uldar Union is ranked 2,917^th in the world and 116^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 222 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
