The Confederacy of Uglisi is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Caesar Silad with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.99 billion Uglisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Preneur. The average income tax rate is 45.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Uglisian economy, worth 450 trillion Lisis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,904 Lisis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

In coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices, and big game hunters travel to Uglisi to try their hand at shark-shooting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uglisi's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Uglisi is ranked 31,338^th in the world and 1,923^rd in Balder for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 61,306.96 Standard Monetary Units.
