The Federal Republic of Uppenja is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vermin Supreme with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 10.841 billion Uppenjans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Walddyk. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Uppenjan economy, worth a remarkable 1,347 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 124,274 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Uppenjans like vultures, cash-strapped politicians frequently host bake sales to fund their campaigns, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uppenja's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Uppenja is ranked 33,398^th in the world and 56^th in Thaecia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
