The Federation of Ubbzooman is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.681 billion Ubbzoomanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The minute, corrupt, moralistic government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry and Education are also considered important, while Administration and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.
The very strong Ubbzoomanian economy, worth 287 trillion spices a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 43,076 spices, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 244,738 per year while the poor average 3,696, a ratio of 66.2 to 1.
Gossip magazines are more interested in astrological stars than celebrity ones, competing private ambulances racing to be the first to traffic accidents are a major cause of road accidents, space shuttles are lying silent on the runway till the Space Agency can work out how to fit a creche and a meditation room into their next spacecraft, and the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ubbzooman's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Ubbzooman is ranked 271,916th in the world and 1,870th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Highest Poor Incomes, with 3,696.83 Standard Monetary Units.
