The Empire of Ubectamia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ube with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.83 billion Ubectamians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Evora. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ubectamian economy, worth 613 trillion Grentzes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,101 Grentzes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 611,734 per year while the poor average 15,387, a ratio of 39.8 to 1.

The tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, all you have to do is pray to get into Ubectamia, and money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ubectamia's national animal is the Husky, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ubectamia is ranked 195,396th in the world and 7,366th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -2.45 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
