The Queen's State of Usault is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.81 billion Usaultians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.

The very strong Usaultian economy, worth a remarkable 1,371 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 51,164 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 347,855 per year while the poor average 2,749, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Usault has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, none has been named as Usault's national religion, breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Usault's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is none.

Usault is ranked 82,774th in the world and 4th in Accra for Highest Food Quality, scoring 26.4 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
