“Memento Mori”

The Pha Blessed Drug Habits of Uichi Ryu is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by several elitist intellectuals with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.527 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent 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 Carcossa. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Information Technology.

Uichi Ryu has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uichi Ryu's national animal is the Giant Lake Turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Kallisti Mark.

Uichi Ryu is ranked 6th in the region and 776th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
