The Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by 👑 King Riordan VIII with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 42.391 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 30.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Urcean economy, worth an astonishing 14,834 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 349,948 Talers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,813,891 per year while the poor average 9,981, a ratio of 281 to 1.

Card collectors duel to the death, convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Urceans must literally pay their respects to hear from their political representatives. 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 4,269^th in the world and 5^th in Greater Ixnay for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 600.48 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
