The Commonwealth of Uhvet is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 62 million Uhvetians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The thriving Uhvetian economy, worth 5.19 trillion Uhveten Dinars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 83,777 Uhveten Dinars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 345,057 per year while the poor average 13,397, a ratio of 25.8 to 1.

A typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, and there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Uhvet's national animal is the snow leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Uhvet is ranked 252,454^th in the world and 1,307^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 214.78 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
