The Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by 👑 King Riordan VIII with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 42.355 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 32.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Urcean economy, worth an astonishing 14,893 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 351,628 Talers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,691,526 per year while the poor average 12,479, a ratio of 215 to 1.

The government is accused of being heartless by those considered brainless, foreign planes and migratory birds are shot down as spies, most academic research has ground to a halt, and the nation has declared war on all passing comets. 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 6,693^rd in the world and 4^th in Greater Ixnay for Most Cultured, scoring 136 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
