The Republic of U-ASS-A is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, national health service, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working population of 282 million U-ASS-Aians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.6%.

The frighteningly efficient U-ASS-Aian economy, worth 32.2 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 114,234 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

The only thing slower than the economy is the exchange where it's managed, there's a bright dawn ahead for U-ASS-A, children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban, and students do more community service than homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. U-ASS-A's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

U-ASS-A is ranked 125,883^rd in the world and 1,048^th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 38.55 Effective Tax Rate.
