The Apostolic Brown Kingdom of Brown Urcea is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.534 billion Brown Urceans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 38.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Brown Urcean economy, worth 265 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,680 Imperial Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, funding for education has been redirected into the military, Leader can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, and the digital money revolution has cashed out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brown Urcea's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brown Urcea is ranked 67,366^th in the world and 41^st in Rainbow Society for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,518.19 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
