The Dominion of Outer Urcea is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.659 billion Outer Urceans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Outer Urceopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Outer Urcean economy, worth 320 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 120,271 Imperial Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 383,759 per year while the poor average 28,655, a ratio of 13.4 to 1.

Preservative manufacturers are told to put a lid on it, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, and the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Urcea's national animal is the Argyrean Tobacco Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Outer Urcea is ranked 284,955^th in the world and 20^th in Urcean Civilization for Least Corrupt Governments, with 64.74 percentage of bribes refused.
