The Benevolent Utopia of Upper Northeast Corner is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Blue Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, otherworldly petting zoo, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.565 billion Unexians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Defense and Administration also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soft Tyranny. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Unexian economy, worth a remarkable 1,124 trillion blue nuggets a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 202,045 blue nuggets, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,453,424 per year while the poor average 9,046, a ratio of 160 to 1.
Half the Unexian Army consists of Brasilistani contractors, city sidewalks are crowded with overweight people, the military has had to quell a recent insurrection by uninsured revolutionaries, and heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera". Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Upper Northeast Corner's national animal is the blue dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vague Spiritual Feelings.
Upper Northeast Corner is ranked 278,275th in the world and 7th in XS IV for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 351.42 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
