The Narex Council of The Ursian Empire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alexander IV Windwalker with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 10.86 billion Ursians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ursus Majoro. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ursian economy, worth a remarkable 3,822 trillion Ursian Kultas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 352,002 Ursian Kultas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,340,547 per year while the poor average 64,018, a ratio of 20.9 to 1.

Pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, children deemed 'disorderly' or otherwise unfit for public schools are shipped off to military academies, Alexander IV Windwalker claims to be the epitome of family values, and funny-looking kids are stood at the front of the classroom for everybody to point and laugh at. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Ursian Empire's national animal is the Ursian Grizzly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Holy Bear.

The Ursian Empire is ranked 280,605^th in the world and 306^th in Wintreath for Safest, scoring 6.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
