The Empire of Ultraworld is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Roboute Guilliman with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.337 billion Ultraworldians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ultrabass. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ultraworldian economy, worth a remarkable 2,268 trillion Tras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 170,107 Tras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, colonial subjects have Ultraworldian culture shoved down their throats, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and adults hang around outside comic stores to ask kids to go and buy magazines for them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ultraworld's national animal is the Wolverine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ultraworld is ranked 11,573^rd in the world and 685^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 98.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
