The Most serene republic of Upper bolta is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by supreme leader william claymore with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.099 billion Upper boltans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of maxingrad. The average income tax rate is 86.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Upper boltan economy, worth 744 trillion dollers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 146,040 dollers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, builders across Upper bolta are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and Supreme Leader William Claymore reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper bolta's national animal is the rattle snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Upper bolta is ranked 237,743rd in the world and 350th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Stationary, with 22.399117609 days.
