Utovica allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers.

Utovica will not make deals with another country that has a history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.

Origins of Utovica
On Planet Earth, a group of people from a number of different nations came together hoping to figure out what is "the perfect society". After meeting, they decided to leave Earth to come to the prospering Planet Bob. Altogether, 144 humans of Earth left their home to build a new nation on Planet Bob, which came to be known as Utovica.

Utovica builds most of its cities, towns, and suburbs to be spacious to allow new infrastructure to be easily built and integrated. The Utovican government urges planners to allow for the possibility of future facilities to be built in most areas.
