The Most serene republic of Upper bolta is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by supreme leader william claymore with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 5.253 billion Upper boltans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of maxingrad. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Upper boltan economy, worth 774 trillion dollers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 147,433 dollers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents dread their examinations more than their children, picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them, cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper bolta's national animal is the rattle snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Upper bolta is ranked 280,840^th in the world and 298^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Primitive, scoring -352.92 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
