The Republic of Ugly Is Beautiful is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 10 million Ugly Is Beautifulians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The strong Ugly Is Beautifulian economy, worth 460 billion cash machines a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 46,030 cash machines, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 296,671 per year while the poor average 2,885, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ugly Is Beautiful's national animal is the alien, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ugly Is Beautiful is ranked 297,950^th in the world and 392^nd in Edoca for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -4.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
