The Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by 👑 King Riordan VIII with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 42.33 billion Urceans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 🏙️ Urcepól. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Urcean economy, worth an astonishing 14,843 trillion Talers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 350,667 Talers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,647,818 per year while the poor average 13,142, a ratio of 201 to 1.

Legions of police officers force people to move into massive urban apartments, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and Yellow Labradors with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urcea's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is ⛪️ Catholicism.

Urcea is ranked 2,896th in the world and 2nd in Greater Ixnay for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 64,892.17 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
