The Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by 👑 King Riordan VIII with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, triple-decker prams, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 42.433 billion Urceans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 🏙️ Urcepól. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Urcean economy, worth an astonishing 14,957 trillion Talers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 352,493 Talers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,834,352 per year while the poor average 10,054, a ratio of 281 to 1.

Urceans must literally pay their respects to hear from their political representatives, the government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health, the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, and slavers view "what did your last slave die of" as a request for a demonstration. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urcea's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is ⛪️ Catholicism.

Urcea is ranked 329,555^th in the world and 21^st in Greater Ixnay for Nicest Citizens, with 0.16 average smiles per day.
