The Confederacy of Ur Argentinian Grandpa is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Drew Durnil IX with a fair hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.505 billion Ur Argentinian Grandpans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Long Beach. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ur Argentinian Grandpan economy, worth 415 trillion drews a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 165,897 drews, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 723,818 per year while the poor average 24,027, a ratio of 30.1 to 1.

Young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, only adults may purchase violent video games, and hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ur Argentinian Grandpa's national animal is the druwu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Invisble Hand.

Ur Argentinian Grandpa is ranked 92,035th in the world and 345th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,170.23 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
