The Anarchic Utopia of Upper Northwest Corner is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Green Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 5.717 billion Unwexians 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 minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Out of Control. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.3%.

The powerhouse Unwexian economy, worth 944 trillion green nuggets a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 165,238 green nuggets, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,188,653 per year while the poor average 7,398, a ratio of 160 to 1.

A chain of pubs that cater solely to children has recently been unveiled, the word "sexagenarian" has taken on a whole new meaning, taxpayer money is hard at work exorcizing laundry, and diabetics find the contents of their medications hard to stomach. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Upper Northwest Corner's national animal is the green dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Apatheism.

Upper Northwest Corner is ranked 169,287th in the world and 1st in XS IV for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,062.85 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
