The Armed Republic of Ubu-Rex is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Silent Tristero with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 42.024 billion Ubu-Rexians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, with Social Policy, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uqbar. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ubu-Rexian economy, worth a remarkable 8,866 trillion Alephs a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 210,984 Alephs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Ubu-Rex's hospitals, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and all beauty contests have been banned. Crime is totally unknown. Ubu-Rex's national animal is the Mugwump, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ubu-Rex is ranked 1,844th in the world and 11th in NationStates for Most Cultured, scoring 275 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
