The Provinces of Upro is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sir Thomas More with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 42.792 billion Uproans 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopian Province. The average income tax rate is 69.2%.

The enormous but underdeveloped Uproan economy, worth a remarkable 1,490 trillion Polar Crowns a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,833 Polar Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, the first test of a good kindergartener is the quality of the sponge-baths they give, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and mothers drive their college-graduate children to work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upro's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Utopianism.

Upro is ranked 47,401^st in the world and 12^th in Arctic for Safest, scoring 103.73 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
