The Republic of Ukrainew is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 45 million Ukrainewians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 7.9%.

The strong Ukrainewian economy, worth 2.24 trillion GRNS a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 49,738 GRNS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, nudity is frowned upon, and Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ukrainew's national animal is the Pig.

Ukrainew is ranked 232,668^th in the world and 196^th in Byzantion for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
