The Torched Savannah of Ugg Lands is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by that guy hiding under the cupcake-table with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 42.243 billion Uggies are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiny Village. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ugg Landsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,696 trillion Uggs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 63,838 Uggs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A National Academy regulates grammar and usage, voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, and the government has legalised small-scale capitalism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ugg Lands's national animal is the Great Crested Ugg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is has been hijacked by dancing ewoks.

Ugg Lands is ranked 289,156th in the world and 9th in Grand Central for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -24.56 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
