The Republic of Upper Ontario is a mid-sized, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, disturbing lack of elderly people, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 74 million Upper Ontarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Upper Ontarioan economy, worth 3.46 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,789 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Money can't buy you love but you can purchase a reasonable approximation of it, it's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, printing out government documents requires the approval of at least three admins, and Basket Weaving facilities are being turned into Lynx habitats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Ontario's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Upper Ontario is ranked 79,887^th in the world and 38^th in Edoca for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,237.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
