The Empire of Ukarija is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.886 billion Ukarijans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 13.2%.

The Ukarijan economy, worth 117 trillion Ukarijan Qors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 62,261 Ukarijan Qors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, one of the nation's leading exports is empty platitudes, the credibility of anti-government demagogues is undermined by government claims that they smell like poo, and the government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Ukarija's national animal is the Ukarijan roadrunner, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ukarija is ranked 233,228^th in the world and 6^th in Daardus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 161.9 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
