The Bread Loving Folk of Under Upper Antartica is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Bread Mann with an even hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, ban on automobiles, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 17.008 billion Under Upper Antarticans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Breadtown. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Under Upper Antartican economy, worth a remarkable 4,933 trillion People 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 290,074 People, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Under Upper Antartica's national animal is the Narwhale, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Toast.

Under Upper Antartica is ranked 213,997th in the world and 2,830th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.53 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
