The Pride of Ulvania

“Patience surpasses learning”

The Pride of Ulvania is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 24.373 billion Ulvanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Ulvanian economy, worth 595 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,435 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All tariffs have been abolished, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation is compulsory, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulvania's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulvania is ranked 119,287^th in the world and 2^nd in Elvis Presley for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
