The Democratic Republic of Uldar Union is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Senate with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.8 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 large, 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 1,436 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 211,248 Uriuprings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Posters on 'Uldarian Values' advise against being proud of Uldar Union, prison visits increase substantially during election years, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Uriupring treacle machine, and surveillance cameras are banned. 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 3,333^rd in the world and 182^nd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 127.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
