The Community of Upper Fairbanks is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 36 million Upper Fairbanksians 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 medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Upper Fairbanksian economy, worth 1.23 trillion Fair Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,200 Fair Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is almost non-existent. Upper Fairbanks's national animal is the Penguin.

Upper Fairbanks is ranked 205,879^th in the world and 3,397^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Patriotic, with 6.26 flags saluted per person per day.
