The Way to go of Up is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Upp with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ban on automobiles, and lack of airports. The compassionate, hard-working population of 26.168 billion Upians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Social Policy, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uppsala. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The very strong Upian economy, worth a remarkable 1,227 trillion ups a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 46,892 ups, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, foreign leaders with unpaid parking tickets are often refused entry, and wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Up's national animal is the up, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Upt.

Up is ranked 293,752nd in the world and 11,302nd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 3.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
