The Sultanate of -Urzikstan is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Sultan Khaled Al-Asad with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.327 billion Urzikstanis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Al Mazrah. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Urzikstani economy, worth 543 trillion Menats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,007 Menats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Urzikstan's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Mazrahan.

-Urzikstan is ranked 287,975^th in the world and 10,774^th in Osiris for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.86 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
