The State of Saint Ursula Island is a titanic, pleasant nation, notable for its suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 16.104 billion Saint Ursula Islandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 12.9%.

The Saint Ursula Islandian economy, worth 811 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 50,382 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, and the term "Native Saint Ursula Islandian" has been redefined as anyone with the same skin color as the majority. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Ursula Island's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Saint Ursula Island is ranked 38,241^st in the world and 1^st in US Virgin Islands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,312.34 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
