The Borderlands of UC Hicago is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Shid Kommunistvar with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.5 billion Hicaraguans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hyde Park. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The UC Hicagoan economy, worth 304 trillion Enks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 86,951 Enks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, and UC Hicago's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand. Crime is totally unknown. UC Hicago's national animal is the Mind Rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

UC Hicago is ranked 269,795^th in the world and 2^nd in Naatu Naatu for Most Authoritarian, with 258.72 milliStalins.
