The Armed Republic of Ultrastania is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 868 million Ultrastanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Law & Order and Administration aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 22.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ultrastanian economy, worth 63.5 trillion ultrims a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 73,106 ultrims, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, and private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ultrastania's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ultrastania is ranked 271,200^th in the world and 41^st in One Collective Brain Cell for Safest, scoring 7.21 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
