The Republic of U-ASS-A is a large, cultured nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and national health service. The hard-working population of 165 million U-ASS-Aians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.4%.

The powerhouse U-ASS-Aian economy, worth 17.2 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 104,128 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 302,879 per year while the poor average 28,320, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, the smell of napalm in the morning is usually alongside grilled emu, and the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. U-ASS-A's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

U-ASS-A is ranked 110,684^th in the world and 905^th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Poor Incomes, with 28,320.31 Standard Monetary Units.
