The Upperlandsian economy, worth 824 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,518 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is relatively low. The Upperlands's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
