UpperWales is a WA Member

The Conservative Haven of UpperWales is a colossal, devout nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.782 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bangor. The average income tax rate is 91%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Book Publishing.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the government is reining in public spending, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, and the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. UpperWales's national animal is the goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the GBP Sterling.

UpperWales is ranked 1st in the region and 41,693rd in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
