The Holy Violet Easter Omelet of Cyclone Ranger Upsilon is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Random Lord Upsilon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.099 billion Rangers 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Upsilon Central. The average income tax rate is 66.9%.

The powerhouse Windswept economy, worth 83.0 trillion silver bullets a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,543 silver bullets, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts, the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism, and oxygen is commonly known as 'breathinium'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cyclone Ranger Upsilon's national animal is the weasel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Rangerism.

Cyclone Ranger Upsilon is ranked 223,865^th in the world and 13^th in Cyclone Rangers for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -6 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
