The Protectorate of Ubalayn is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Governor General Zavod with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.225 billion Ubalaynians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Industrial Avenue. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ubalaynian economy, worth 109 trillion Ebris a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,452 Ebris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Ubalaynian Moonshine", tourists are forbidden to enter Native Ubalaynian lands, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ubalayn's national animal is the Nyan Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ubalayn is ranked 20,702nd in the world and 1st in The Empire of Oreo Lovers for Most Secular, with 54.42 Atheism Rate.
