The Bread Loving Folk of Under Upper Antartica is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bread Mann with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 11.91 billion Under Upper Antarticans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Breadtown. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Under Upper Antartican economy, worth a remarkable 3,294 trillion People 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 276,581 People, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, few that venture into government archives are ever seen again, racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, and hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Under Upper Antartica's national animal is the Narwhale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Toast.

Under Upper Antartica is ranked 290,774th in the world and 5,123rd in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 2.76 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
