The Empire of Ukarija is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.923 billion Ukarijans 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 16.8%.

The Ukarijan economy, worth 101 trillion Ukarijan Qors a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,960 Ukarijan Qors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The credibility of anti-government demagogues is undermined by government claims that they smell like poo, the government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, the default state for Ukarija is default, and white chocolate is neither chocolate nor food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ukarija's national animal is the Ukarijan roadrunner, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ukarija is ranked 111,489^th in the world and 1^st in Daardus for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 10,664.05 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
