The United Socialist Republic of Ucratia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Viktor Kobanovitch Troska with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical population of 13.128 billion Ucratians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic morass — prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Public Transport receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nogova. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ucratian economy, worth a remarkable 3,275 trillion Durrutis a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. Average income is an amazing 249,514 Durrutis, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, chocolate in Ucratia has its flavour enhanced by the salty tears of enslaved factory workers, photos of picturesque coastal buildings are set against a backdrop of smokestacks and ship hulls, and when their backs are against the walls Ucratians look out for gay men. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ucratia's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of the Supreme Being.

Ucratia is ranked 276,117^th in the world and 1,844^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -36.19 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
