The Republic of Urmegia is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 9 million Urmegians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.5%.

The strong Urmegian economy, worth 542 billion Alos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 60,252 Alos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and dessert dishes make up the Urmegian breakfast menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Urmegia's national animal is the Brown Bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Urmegia is ranked 153,776^th in the world and 107^th in Britannia for Most Developed, scoring 55.29 on the Human Development Index.
