The Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by 👑 King Riordan VIII with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 42.335 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 33.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Urcean economy, worth an astonishing 14,889 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 351,696 Talers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,655,582 per year while the poor average 13,181, a ratio of 201 to 1.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, Yellow Labradors with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites, and the dead are minced up and sold to people in burger form. 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 1,686th in the world and 2nd in Greater Ixnay for Fattest Citizens, with 49.64 Obesity Rate.
