The Holy Empire of Ustallaa is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 573 million Ustallaans 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capybaraastan. The average income tax rate is 44.0%.

The very strong Ustallaan economy, worth 34.5 trillion Ustallaananas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,160 Ustallaananas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by a Capybara, molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public, Ustallaans struggle to cut steak with a spoon, and military chiefs are predicting extra funding in this year's budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ustallaa's national animal is the Capybara, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ustallaa is ranked 269,966^th in the world and 5,057^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 56.92 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
