The Empire of Uroborosss is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 240 million Uroborosssians 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 47.2%.

The Uroborosssian economy, worth 11.2 trillion zeniths a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 46,739 zeniths, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, tourists call Uroborosssian beach towns "the fine coastline", translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, and extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uroborosss's national animal is the Black panther, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Uroborosss is ranked 248,366^th in the world and 182^nd in Benigtopia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 28.2 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
