The Disputed Territories of Uniquer is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.414 billion Uniquerians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Draynor. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The very strong Uniquerian economy, worth 747 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 65,465 florins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 260,692 per year while the poor average 11,073, a ratio of 23.5 to 1.

The well-to-do in Bishop Rock are never on time for important appointments, the new Parrot Supremacy Party is faring well in the polls, citizens have a tough time telling the difference between jeans and genes, and suicide victims often leave behind cash to cover the cost of their fines. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uniquer's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Uniquer is ranked 253,031st in the world and 1st in Bishop Rock for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -4.1 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
