Location: Maltropian Puppet Confederacy

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Duchy of Urbino is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.445 billion are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Religion & Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urbino. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16%. A healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Voting is voluntary, military spending is on the increase, Urbino has designated Urbino as its capital city, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Urbino in an international press conference. Crime is moderate. Urbino's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Ducat.

Urbino is ranked 34th in Maltropian Puppet Confederacy and 59,349th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 18 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
