The Republic of Urx is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 478 million Urxians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.6%.

The sizeable but inefficient Urxian economy, worth 14.8 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 30,922 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is relatively low. Urx's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Urx is ranked 23,279^th in the world and 9^th in Pacifism for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 97 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
