The People's Republic of Ughterra is a massive, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.174 billion Ughterrans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Melonia. The average income tax rate is 61.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Ughterran economy, worth 114 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,634 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, government programs are less "written" and more "plagiarised", RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ughterra's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ughterra is ranked 157,366^th in the world and 6,051^st in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 562.8 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
