The Empire of Ukarija is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.016 billion Ukarijans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 17.4%.

The Ukarijan economy, worth 105 trillion Ukarijan Qors a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,511 Ukarijan Qors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, the default state for Ukarija is default, white chocolate is neither chocolate nor food, and fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ukarija's national animal is the Ukarijan roadrunner, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ukarija is ranked 233,491^st in the world and 4^th in Daardus for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 29.33 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
