The Kingdom of Second Ukrainian Empire is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 131 million Second Ukrainian Empireans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 61.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Second Ukrainian Empirean economy, worth 1.85 trillion hryvnias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 14,105 hryvnias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government, the police insist that racism does not exist, troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist, and stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Second Ukrainian Empire's national animal is the nightingale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Second Ukrainian Empire is ranked 248,766^th in the world and 441^st in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring -9.95 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
