Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Holy Empire of Ustallaa is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 632 million Ustallaans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capybaraastan. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ustallaan economy, worth 35.8 trillion Ustallaananas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,652 Ustallaananas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by a Capybara, molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public, Ustallaans struggle to cut steak with a spoon, and military chiefs are predicting extra funding in this year's budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ustallaa's national animal is the Capybara, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ustallaa is ranked 42,307^th in the world and 1,015^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
