The New Cruor Federation of Greater Urgustan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Avakael with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The devout population of 22.917 billion Greater Urgustanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ranval. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Greater Urgustanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,493 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,164 Halicarnassuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, and people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Urgustan's national animal is the White Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cruor.

Greater Urgustan is ranked 63,147th in the world and 345th in Ordo Imperialia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
