The Democratic Republic of Ubeland is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 163 million Ubelandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ubelandian economy, worth 12.5 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 76,488 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, the official Ubelandian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ubeland's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ubeland is ranked 88,539^th in the world and 1,792^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,342.9 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
