The Republic of Uttawak is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 4.582 billion Uttawakians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uttagrad. The average income tax rate is 52.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Uttawakian economy, worth 778 trillion Uttawakian Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 169,881 Uttawakian Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, the government is avowedly secular, and health insurance executives die young due to their claims being denied by their own companies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uttawak's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Uttawak is ranked 14,959^th in the world and 123^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,161 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
