The Federal Republic of Uppenja is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Vermin Supreme with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.208 billion Uppenjans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Walddyk. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Uppenjan economy, worth 881 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 122,329 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, one-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, it is universally agreed that the first 31 issues are the only ones with humor and charm (Uppenja has found 2 easter eggs), and delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uppenja's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Uppenja is ranked 15,554^th in the world and 39^th in Thaecia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 90,073.76 Standard Monetary Units.
