The Slave Empire of Ulkar is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Bologog Gro-Nolob with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, fear of technology, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.561 billion Ulkarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Ulkarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,912 trillion Khacks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 288,521 Khacks, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.
Truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, the police have nothing to do with the increasing number of 'disappeared', the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Ulkar after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and government ministers claim to ride dragons to work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulkar's national animal is the Vulcher, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ulkar is ranked 291,722nd in the world and 10,020th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 2.38467208492 days.
