The Sixth Hellhole of Uptisd is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Richard Potato with an iron fist, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.71 billion Pissers 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Education aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trumpsburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Uptisdian economy, worth a remarkable 1,844 trillion Hitler particles a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 189,967 Hitler particles, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,132,696 per year while the poor average 14,554, a ratio of 77.8 to 1.

Charity workers dole out hardtack from behind designer sunglasses, minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave, babysitters are a thing of the past, and foreign lack of enthusiasm for Uptisdian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Uptisd's national animal is the Monster Mosquito, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Potatoism.

Uptisd is ranked 12,447th in the world and 1st in Non Aligned Territories Office for Most Patriotic, with 62.95 flags saluted per person per day.
