The Democratic Republic of Big Ugly Bill is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 2.21 billion Big Ugly Billians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Big Ugly Billian economy, worth 64.5 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,186 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control. Big Ugly Bill's national animal is the swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Big Ugly Bill is ranked 231,360^th in the world and 1,227^th in Pacifism for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2.65 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
