The Armed Republic of Ubu-Rex is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Silent Tristero with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 42.227 billion Ubu-Rexians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, although Social Policy, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uqbar. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ubu-Rexian economy, worth a remarkable 8,925 trillion Alephs a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 211,377 Alephs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, all beauty contests have been banned, and young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves. Crime is totally unknown. Ubu-Rex's national animal is the Mugwump, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ubu-Rex is ranked 260,533^rd in the world and 795^th in NationStates for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 12,894.04 Standard Monetary Units.
