The Federation of Uurainen Lake is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.178 billion Uurainen Lakeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Uurainen Lakean economy, worth 59.3 trillion gambles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 50,335 gambles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking, society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and a positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uurainen Lake's national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Uurainen Lake is ranked 93,653^rd in the world and 162^nd in Lakes in Finland for Largest Governments, scoring 17.2 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
