The Kingdom of Ugranda is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Sir Mister Korongo Bird-Thingy III with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.926 billion Ugrandans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kamprala. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ugrandan economy, worth a remarkable 1,652 trillion Ugrandan Shrillings a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,475 Ugrandan Shrillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many in Ugranda are born in the purple, the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Ugrandan radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, and diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm. Crime is totally unknown. Ugranda's national animal is the Ugrandan Bird-Thingy, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ugranda is ranked 254,779^th in the world and 4,649^th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.75 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
