The State of UJ is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.491 billion UJians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The very strong UJian economy, worth 534 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 34,480 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 234,424 per year while the poor average 1,852, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, voting is voluntary, UJ has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of UJ in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. UJ's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

UJ is ranked 142,521st in the world and 270th in Omega Prime for Most Primitive, scoring -49.5 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
