The Narex Council of The Ursian Empire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alexander IV Windwalker with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, public floggings, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 10.88 billion Ursians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ursus Majoro. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ursian economy, worth a remarkable 3,831 trillion Ursian Kultas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 352,158 Ursian Kultas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,323,562 per year while the poor average 65,409, a ratio of 20.2 to 1.

Victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', and acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Ursian Empire's national animal is the Ursian Grizzly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Holy Bear.

The Ursian Empire is ranked 171,104^th in the world and 220^th in Wintreath for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 22.37 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
