The Apostolic Yellowless Kingdom of Yellowless Urcea is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, devout population of 1.322 billion Yellowless Urceans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.0%.

The very strong Yellowless Urcean economy, worth 107 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 81,120 Imperial Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, top gamblers bet against seedy hoopers, Yellowless Urcean watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, and parole hearings come with a complimentary ten-year extension. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yellowless Urcea's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yellowless Urcea is ranked 37,033^rd in the world and 16^th in Rainbow Society for Most Cultured, scoring 76 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
