The Republic of 048-UB is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.214 billion 048-UBians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The strong 048-UBian economy, worth 234 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 37,732 rupees, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 243,192 per year while the poor average 2,365, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 048-UB's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

048-UB is ranked 178,486^th in the world and 1^st in Cheriava for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
