The Capitalist Utopia of Upper Southwest Corner is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Yellow Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 5.637 billion Uswexians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moral Marketplace. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Uswexian economy, worth a remarkable 1,096 trillion yellow nuggets a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 194,480 yellow nuggets, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,753,650 per year while the poor average 2,642, a ratio of 663 to 1.

Children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, reports of arson have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service, stern tutting by international commentators has persuaded Upper Southwest Corner to disarm, and Yellow Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Southwest Corner's national animal is the yellow dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Violentism.

Upper Southwest Corner is ranked 333,141^st in the world and 7^th in XS IV for Most Pacifist, with 3.97 cheeks turned per day.
