The Voice From The Outer World of UPC is a massive, genial nation, ruled by the Illustrious UPC with a fair hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.8 billion Radiants love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urithiru. The average income tax rate is 87.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Radiant economy, worth 253 trillion Diamond Broams a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 66,771 Diamond Broams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Selfie stick use is a required Scout badge, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, the media seems excessively interested in what the Illustrious UPC is wearing this season, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. UPC's national animal is the Windspren, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Church of Honor.

UPC is ranked 8,130^th in the world and 71^st in Europeia for Safest, scoring 124.07 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
