The People's Republic of Uponda is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Veylek Zeimana with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 7.984 billion Upondians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minsia. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Upondian economy, worth 907 trillion Prucs a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,725 Prucs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Minsia Times is sold out, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, and only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uponda's national animal is the Doyre, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Unepecism.

Uponda is ranked 244,325^th in the world and 80^th in Wintercrest for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.77 kickbacks per hour.
