The Empire of Ukesh is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Viceroy Montubo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.898 billion Ukeshians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Welfare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarqere. The average income tax rate is 58.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ukeshian economy, worth 507 trillion Raven Dollar Eroes 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. 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 86,107 Raven Dollar Eroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has to take out its Visa to eliminate visas, the first test of a good kindergartener is the quality of the sponge-baths they give, immigrant Bigtopians work themselves to the bone to support gold-plated Ukeshian pensions, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Ukeshians. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ukesh's national animal is the Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Piggyism.

Ukesh is ranked 234,890th in the world and 12th in The Alliance of Eros for Most Stationary, with 23.0640824612 days.
