The High Athelingric of Urawrda is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.666 billion Urawrdans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Urawrdan economy, worth a remarkable 1,468 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 169,440 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government snoops on private internet connections, rumor has it that Asher Wiley has won three lotteries in a row, adulthood begins with the creation of an email account, and dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Urawrdan citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urawrda's national animal is the snow leopard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Urawrda is ranked 24,044^th in the world and 9^th in Snep for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,920.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
