The Most Serene Republic of Uraba is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 62 million Urabans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Uraban economy, worth 1.81 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 29,263 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uraba's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Uraba is ranked 95,916^th in the world and 455^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,448.5 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
