The Democratic Republic of Ubeland is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 157 million Ubelandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ubelandian economy, worth 12.0 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 76,216 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, all recreational drugs are legal, interest in globalism never flags, and the official Ubelandian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ubeland's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ubeland is ranked 79,969^th in the world and 2,123^rd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,648.67 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
