The Holy Violet Easter Omelet of Cyclone Ranger Upsilon is a huge, pleasant nation, ruled by Random Lord Upsilon with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, avowedly heterosexual populace, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 869 million Rangers are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Upsilon Central. The average income tax rate is 61.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Windswept economy, worth 56.6 trillion silver bullets 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. 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 65,141 silver bullets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The price of freedom is about half a million silver bullets, euthanasia is illegal, voting is compulsory, and police are doing their best to break down barriers between them and the community. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cyclone Ranger Upsilon's national animal is the weasel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cyclone Ranger Upsilon is ranked 65,739^th in the world and 4^th in Cyclone Rangers for Highest Poor Incomes, with 45,155.95 Standard Monetary Units.
