The Republic of Urdix is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Urd with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.332 billion Urdixians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urdix. The average income tax rate is 57.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Urdixian economy, worth 129 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,397 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urdix's national animal is the red squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Force.

Urdix is ranked 198,162^nd in the world and 5^th in The Scandalian Alliance for Most Primitive, scoring -80.91 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
