The Ugli ferg of Ugly frog is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 4.12 billion Ugly frogians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 41.8%.

The very strong Ugly frogian economy, worth 256 trillion frogcoins 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 62,323 frogcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, elderly tribespeople die in bed surrounded by loved ones and linguists, the elderly are killed softly with a song, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Ugly frog's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ugly frog's national animal is the ugly frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ugly frog is ranked 56,639^th in the world and 124^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,875.96 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
