The Republic of Uttawak is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 4.505 billion Uttawakians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uttagrad. The average income tax rate is 52.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Uttawakian economy, worth 750 trillion Uttawakian Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 166,559 Uttawakian Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Uttagrad, hospital administrators can usually be found scrubbing their floors with toothbrushes, and parole hearings come with a complimentary ten-year extension. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uttawak's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Uttawak is ranked 13,636^th in the world and 221^st in The East Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 79,449.06 Standard Monetary Units.
