The Superstate of Upper-Africa is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Tankwasa with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.528 billion Upper-Africans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Capital. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Upper-African economy, worth a remarkable 8,847 trillion Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 410,982 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomacy is a foreign concept to Upper-Africans, running a hot dog stand is harder than achieving a doctorate, nobility is the world's oldest profession, and school cafeterias serve nothing but protein powder and vitamin supplements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper-Africa's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is atheism.

Upper-Africa is ranked 20,322nd in the world and 4th in West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,610.96214259468 days.
