The Benevolent Utopia of Upper Northeast Corner is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Blue Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.577 billion Unexians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, although Defense and Administration are also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soft Tyranny. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Unexian economy, worth a remarkable 1,127 trillion blue nuggets a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 202,214 blue nuggets, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,454,636 per year while the poor average 9,054, a ratio of 160 to 1.
City sidewalks are crowded with overweight people, the military has had to quell a recent insurrection by uninsured revolutionaries, heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera", and awkward tourists are offered the 'unique experience' of rodeo clown. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Upper Northeast Corner's national animal is the blue dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vague Spiritual Feelings.
Upper Northeast Corner is ranked 56,802nd in the world and 8th in XS IV for Largest Governments, scoring 21.24 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
