The Empire of Usukia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 576 million Usukians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Spirituality are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 27.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Usukian economy, worth 31.9 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,329 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, the government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, Usukian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Usukia's national animal is the hairbored wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Usukia is ranked 45,252^nd in the world and 14^th in Thegye for Most Patriotic, with 29.66 flags saluted per person per day.
