The Ascended Peoples of The Holy Utopian Republic is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Santa Venerado Francisco Kingsley with an even hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.509 billion Utopians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Tierra Promiteda. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Utopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,949 trillion Evirķas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,417 Evirķas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Utopian farm salmon are known for being both horribly diseased and remarkably acrobatic, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, citizens ask "how many crooks could a nunchuck hook if a nun had nunchucks too?", and social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Holy Utopian Republic's national animal is the Ispaniyan Aguila, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sanquis Catholicism.

The Holy Utopian Republic is ranked 104,455th in the world and 1,857th in The East Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,228.36 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
