The Kingdom of The Upperlands is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 17.333 billion Upperlanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 13.7%.

The Upperlandsian economy, worth 823 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,518 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is relatively low. The Upperlands's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Upperlands is ranked 21,480^th in the world and 98^th in Nederland for Largest Populations, with 17.3 billion capita.
