The United Socialist States of UUralia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Alyx Whitley with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.046 billion Uuralians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uural. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Uurali economy, worth 117 trillion Uurs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 112,566 Uurs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Uuralians, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. UUralia's national animal is the Coyote, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

UUralia is ranked 294,879^th in the world and 5,446^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -7.87 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
