The Republic of Uvik is a massive, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.095 billion Uvikians 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 medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 36.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Uvikian economy, worth 39.5 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,085 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uvik's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Uvik is ranked 99,844^th in the world and 309^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,108.69 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
