The United States of Uproot Mountain is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 376 million Uproot Mountainians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 27.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Uproot Mountainian economy, worth 14.5 trillion Inks a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,470 Inks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uproot Mountain's national animal is the Scriptgeist.

Uproot Mountain is ranked 172,602^nd in the world and 25^th in Sui for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 484.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
