Uppasala, officially known as the Commonwealth of Uppasala (Sueconorwegian: Samväldet/-veldet Uppasala), is a state of the Kingdom of Superior, located in the eastern most region of the country. It is a penisula, surrounding in the north, south, and east by the Great Lakes. The state shares its only land border with New Hanover to the southwest. It shares a maritime border with the United Commonwealth. Its state capital and largest city is New Michigan.

Uppasala was sparsely populated by various indigenous tribes. The state remained largely disputed by colonial powers during the early years of colonization, though later was recognized as apart of the British North America and later was incorporated apart of the Northwest Territory in the United States following the American Revolutionary War. Uppasala joined the Lower Peninsula in forming the state of Michigan in 1837. Uppasala was formerly separated from Michigan following the War of Contingency after being occupied by the newly-formed Kingdom of Superior and was formed into the Upper Peninsula Territory. As a territory, Uppasala saw immigration from Scandinavian immigrants, particularly from Sweden. Uppasala was admitted as a state of Superior in 1887, however prior to that their was serious political debate on whether the territory should have been merged with New Hanover.

Following the Continental Revolutionary War, Uppasala was a prime destination for refugees from Michigan. Uppasala was occupied by the United Commonwealth during the Great War until 1938 when the last Continental forces withdrew following the end of hostilities in North America. During the Cold War, a number of military installations were established along the southern coast of the state in order to prevent another Continental invasion. The maritime area surrounding Uppasala was the sight of some notable maritime disputes during the Cold War. Beginning in the late 20th century, Uppasala has gradually become an important player in Superian politics, with several federal governments being formed with the assistance of Uppasala politicians and political parties.

The state motto of Uppasala is "The Sanctuary State". Adopted in 1940, it is a reference to the state's historical position as a destination for refugees. The Uppasala economy is diversified, with prominent sectors in fishing, lumber, clean energy, and technology. Tourism has become an increasingly prominent sector of the state economy, with Germaine L. Grazter National Park, the second-largest national park in Eastern Superior, being frequented by many tourists. Uppasala also receives the most snowfall of any state in Eastern Superior. Uppasala contains the largest concentration of Norwegian Superians in the country.
