The Republic of Upper Ontario is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, disturbing lack of elderly people, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 168 million Upper Ontarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 56.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Upper Ontarioan economy, worth 7.86 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,800 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, billions of Dollars are being poured into a space program, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Ontario's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Upper Ontario is ranked 62,396^th in the world and 84^th in Edoca for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,645.71 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
