The Republic of Uckraine is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Beckett Kamp with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.59 billion Uckraineans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Piginia. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Uckrainean economy, worth 312 trillion Ucks a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 120,569 Ucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

In distant lands the nation is known as a lovely place that was even better in the good old days, toilet paper is considered a non-essential item in the embargo against Brasilistan, email killed the radio star, and Brasilistan has been announced as the nation's newest colony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uckraine's national animal is the Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

Uckraine is ranked 99,990^th in the world and 482^nd in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,382.53 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
