The Apostolic Rainbow Kingdom of St Patricks Urcea is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its digital currency, parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.293 billion St Patricks Urceans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irish Urceopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.5%.

The all-consuming St Patricks Urcean economy, worth 307 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 134,000 Imperial Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 487,208 per year while the poor average 26,222, a ratio of 18.6 to 1.

The upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, they say the best compromise leaves everyone feeling a little unarmed, The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony, and the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Patricks Urcea's national animal is the Rainbow Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

St Patricks Urcea is ranked 281,285^th in the world and 60^th in Rainbow Society for Nicest Citizens, with 4 average smiles per day.
