The Siberian Democratic States of Uberio is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Rose Pheonix with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.736 billion Uberians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tytania. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Uberian economy, worth 449 trillion Ruboids a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 164,213 Ruboids, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Rose Pheonix is a silly poophead, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, and every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts. Crime is totally unknown. Uberio's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Shajunism.

Uberio is ranked 19,448^th in the world and 1^st in Nova Britannia Prima for Highest Average Incomes, with 164,213.72 Standard Monetary Units.
