The People's Socialist Republic of Urgabah is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 35.217 billion Urgabahians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cornucopia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Urgabahian economy, worth an astonishing 13,211 trillion Uollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an amazing 375,143 Uollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation excels at displacement, Leader's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, Urgabah's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urgabah's national animal is the Monitor Lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Urgabah is ranked 140^th in the world and 1^st in the West Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 371.81 Quips Per Hour.
