The Narex Council of The Ursian Empire is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alexander IV Windwalker with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 10.803 billion Ursians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

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 5.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ursian economy, worth a remarkable 3,788 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 350,716 Ursian Kultas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,315,676 per year while the poor average 65,335, a ratio of 20.1 to 1.

Illegal moonshine operations get taken out with laser-guided airstrikes, male tourists tend to be fearful of The Ursian Empire's deadly femme fatales, rare steaks seem even bluer now, and the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons. 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 43,845^th in the world and 75^th in Wintreath for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
