NATIONAL SUMMARY

The Holy Roman Empire of Urcea is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.814 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

The nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, owning a tractor is widely regarded as an essential prerequisite to most government positions, sex offenders find themselves 'cut off' from any ability to repeat their crimes, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Urcea's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Imperial Dollar.
