The Republic of Ufort is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.686 billion Ufortians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ufortian economy, worth 625 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,462 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Many in Ufort are born in the purple, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, only toddlers and the elderly watch television before 23:00, and parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ufort's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ufort is ranked 22,219^th in the world and 161^st in Cainitium for Largest Black Market, with 150 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
