The Happy Birthday Oligarchy of Utarah is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Asher Manuel Santos Kayze with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.11 billion Utarahians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Uta. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Utarahian economy, worth 858 trillion Kronzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,372 Kronzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The standard prescription for infertility-causing conditions is "go have a baby", exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Utarah's national animal is the Hippopotamus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aeronism.

Utarah is ranked 292,602^nd in the world and 339^th in Christians for Least Corrupt Governments, with 53.65 percentage of bribes refused.
