The Receivership of Urcea Major is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Majority Leader Gavin with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 6.088 billion Urceans 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.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urceopolis Major. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Urcean economy, worth 632 trillion Urcean Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,898 Urcean Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 497,670 per year while the poor average 12,692, a ratio of 39.2 to 1.

Meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, newspaper headlines proclaim something happened somewhere at a time, and theories abound over why conspiracy theorists are being arrested. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urcea Major's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Urcea Major is ranked 29,996^th in the world and 2^nd in Infrastructure for Most Developed, scoring 82.94 on the Human Development Index.
