The Republic of Utterly sad is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The quiet, industrious population of 12.77 billion Utterly sadians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Utterly sadian economy, worth 769 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 60,222 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, and ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Utterly sad's national animal is the Moose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Utterly sad is ranked 11,472nd in the world and 35th in Anarchy for Most Stationary, with 2,139.132832343 days.
