The Most Serene Republic of Utter Nonsense is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Herne Scandiaca with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 822 million Irrationalists are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cittàgazze. The average income tax rate is 13.7%.

The powerhouse Utter Nonsensean economy, worth 86.2 trillion leaves a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 104,893 leaves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Children regularly take part in blood sports that result in extreme boo-boos, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, games of cops and robbers typically end in at least one fatal shooting, and aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Utter Nonsense's national animal is the peregrine falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Utter Nonsense is ranked 46,366^th in the world and 77^th in The Black Hawks for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,229.51 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
