The Kingdom of Ugranda is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Sir Mister Korongo Bird-Thingy III with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.843 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 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ugrandan economy, worth a remarkable 1,654 trillion Ugrandan Shrillings a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 168,101 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 13,438^th in the world and 294^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
