The Narex Council of The Ursian Empire is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alexander IV Windwalker with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, unlimited-speed roads, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 10.817 billion Ursians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ursus Majoro. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ursian economy, worth a remarkable 3,795 trillion Ursian Kultas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 350,851 Ursian Kultas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,316,186 per year while the poor average 65,360, a ratio of 20.1 to 1.

The easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, kindergarten teachers with ankle-bracelets are closely supervised by their parole officers, there's a big brother in every prison, and charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Ursian Empire's national animal is the Ursian Grizzly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Holy Bear.

The Ursian Empire is ranked 60,576^th in the world and 62^nd in Wintreath for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,418.52 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
