Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United Regions of Uciniple is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Nelson Rosswier with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.494 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pacifia . The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing.

The recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, expats return home to a government devoid of social and environmental agencies, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uciniple's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Donued.

Uciniple is ranked 101st in The Allied Republics and 99,321st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -36 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
