The Republic of Ultraphoria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Isaac Murillo with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.421 billion Ultraphorians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nueva Victoria. The average income tax rate is 36.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ultraphorian economy, worth 74.9 trillion Astrals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,700 Astrals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, there are six more weeks of winter if a northerner sees her shadow, and the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ultraphoria's national animal is the Blue Jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Ultraphoria is ranked 156,284^th in the world and 5,735^th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 547.52 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
