The Democratic Republic of Ultra Head is a tiny, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16 million Ultra Headians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The thriving Ultra Headian economy, worth 1.22 trillion Ultras a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 76,163 Ultras, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 327,887 per year while the poor average 11,291, a ratio of 29.0 to 1.

Rich and poor neighborhoods are divided by the Red Line, punitive tariffs protect local industry, the country is preparing for war, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ultra Head's national animal is the Ultra Animal, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ultra Head is ranked 102,630th in the world and 446th in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,233.98 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
