The Confederation of Uluxe is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.795 billion Luxians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Babbage. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Luxian economy, worth 716 trillion Euloes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 149,426 Euloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", and airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory. Crime is totally unknown. Uluxe's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Uluxe is ranked 15,659^th in the world and 38^th in The Social Liberal Union for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,936.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
