The Borderlands of Ujiixo is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by le Preeg with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 9.106 billion Ujiixo are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cathartes aura. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Ujiixo economy, worth a remarkable 2,278 trillion mordleses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 250,235 mordleses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Cathartes aura for fear of causing a fuss, abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age', and cat memes without alt text are now illegal. Crime is totally unknown. Ujiixo's national animal is the Black Vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Ujiixo is ranked 3,298th in the world and 73rd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 127.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
