The Federatsiya of Ursaaa is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ivan Mallory with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, zero percent divorce rate, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.281 billion Ursans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rudeya. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ursaaan economy, worth 650 trillion Ursan chezzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 198,135 Ursan chezzes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 933,471 per year while the poor average 24,972, a ratio of 37.4 to 1.

Police deploy tear-gas on unruly kindergarteners, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", and museums occasionally burn priceless artifacts in order to intimidate foreign curators. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ursaaa's national animal is the for example nothing, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Religion-is-quite-silly.

Ursaaa is ranked 15,322^nd in the world and 26^th in Eladria for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 352.32 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
