The Archduchy of Urceopolis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.978 billion Urceopolitans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 61.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Urceopolisian economy, worth 193 trillion Provincial Talers 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. 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 97,718 Provincial Talers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, the numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels, Urceopolitans ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, and it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Urceopolis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urceopolis's national animal is the Local Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Urceopolis is ranked 211,265^th in the world and 23^rd in Urcea for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
