The Democratic Republic of Ubeland is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 119 million Ubelandians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ubelandian economy, worth 7.94 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 66,716 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Skateparks can be found in every city, the stock market has been destroyed for its own protection, the Ubeland Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', and pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ubeland's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ubeland is ranked 79,922^nd in the world and 2,216^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
