The Colony of Upondian Nulen is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 308 million Nulenians 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 prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 8.7%.

The Upondian Nulenian economy, worth 14.5 trillion Nule-Proucs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,938 Nule-Proucs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

It's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, political hopefuls must announce their intentions decades in advance to accommodate extensive background checks, and sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls. Crime is totally unknown. Upondian Nulen's national animal is the Lobomun Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Upondian Nulen is ranked 173,099^th in the world and 117^th in Wintercrest for Highest Drug Use, scoring 41.2 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
