The Republic of Uprus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kovack with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.246 billion Uprusians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harlan. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Uprusian economy, worth a remarkable 5,604 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 291,197 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maximum security Uprusian subway stations inspire prison systems around the world, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uprus's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Lords of Harlan.

Uprus is ranked 280,092^nd in the world and 687^th in 0000 for Safest, scoring 6.63 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
