The Colony of Upper Mer Diver Bre is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 87 million Uppers enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Industry and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 9.2%.

The Upper Mer Diver Brean economy, worth 4.09 trillion 1941s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Gambling. Average income is 47,019 1941s, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued, military spending is on the increase, weather reports simply advise Uppers to 'look outside', and drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Upper Mer Diver Bre's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
