The Dominion of Ulashat is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 315 million Ulashatians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Ulashatian economy, worth 9.81 trillion Rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 31,147 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending is on the increase, the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, surveillance cameras are banned, and being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulashat's national animal is the Blue Jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ulashat is ranked 151,835^th in the world and 70^th in Albastru for Nudest, with 130.5 cheeks per square mile.
