The Federatsiya of Ursaaa is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ivan Mallory with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, enslaved workforce, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.256 billion Ursans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rudeya. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ursaaan economy, worth 627 trillion Ursan chezzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,620 Ursan chezzes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 959,277 per year while the poor average 21,828, a ratio of 43.9 to 1.

Ursans have become death, the destroyer of worlds, rural Ursans stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities, recent events have left citizens both shaken and stirred, and corporations have to consult a fifty-page "sanctions spreadsheet" to determine which countries they are allowed to do business with. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ursaaa's national animal is the for example nothing, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Religion-is-quite-silly.

Ursaaa is ranked 89,216^th in the world and 40^th in Eladria for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,420.6 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
