The Federation of Urheimadt is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate, cynical population of 272 million Urheimen are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 51.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Urheimadtian economy, worth 18.6 trillion credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,267 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, Leader's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, and the banshee wail foretells skies of death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urheimadt's national animal is the honeybee, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Urheimadt is ranked 94,077th in the world and 8th in Greater Necanica for Nudest, with 172.25 cheeks per square mile.
