The University of UC Santa Barbara is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 813 million Santa Barbarans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Barbara. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The very strong Santa Barbaran economy, worth 47.8 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 58,829 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 173,377 per year while the poor average 15,707, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", and UC Santa Barbara has designated Santa Barbara as its capital city. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. UC Santa Barbara's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

UC Santa Barbara is ranked 51,631^st in the world and 65^th in California Colleges and Universities for Most Extreme, scoring 31.19 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
