The Rogue Nation of Ulyvania is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Ulysses the Great with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.119 billion Ulyvanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lago Pantera. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulyvanian economy, worth 534 trillion Umlauts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 171,338 Umlauts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

It is said that an Ulyvanian woman's work is never done, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', and handling people's data is proving an immersive experience. Crime is relatively low. Ulyvania's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulyvania is ranked 199,634^th in the world and 17^th in Lago Pantera for Most Extreme, scoring 15.18 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
