The Republic of Upper Islands is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning eagle population.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.0%.

The Upper Islandsian economy, worth 168 trillion rupees a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 39,599 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
