The Kingdom of Embossed Urcea is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, public floggings, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 583 million Embossed Urceans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Education, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.0%.

The very strong Embossed Urcean economy, worth 25.7 trillion Talers a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,061 Talers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 243,212 per year while the poor average 4,033, a ratio of 60.3 to 1.

Nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue, commemoration of the Great Rainbow Society War costs almost as much as the war itself, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Embossed Urcean politicians, and broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Embossed Urcea's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Embossed Urcea is ranked 216,319th in the world and 54th in Rainbow Society for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 805.63 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
