The Clear Sky Republic of Ulymein is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 8.899 billion Ulies hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kastor. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ulymeinian economy, worth 454 trillion Ulypences a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,114 Ulypences, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ulymein has designated Kastor as its capital city, suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulymein's national animal is the Mantis Shrimp, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ulymein is ranked 258,298^th in the world and 121^st in Equiterra for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.73 kickbacks per hour.
