The Great Republic of Uhremberg is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The consulate with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.493 billion Uhrembergians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dresburg. The average income tax rate is 55.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Uhrembergian economy, worth 924 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 168,378 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and visiting the best Uhrembergian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Uhremberg's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Uhremberg is ranked 209,757th in the world and 72nd in The Internationale for Most Stationary, with 37.39606634428 days.
