Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Nation of Ulita is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Chuck with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate population of 16.296 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Education and Law & Order are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ulita City. The average income tax rate is 84%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, and the government has become increasingly militant. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulita's national animal is the tiger , which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the pennies .

Ulita is ranked 34th in 00000 A World Power and 80,665th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -17 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
