The Kingdom of Edged Urcea is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 531 million Edged 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 government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 44.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Edged Urcean economy, worth 42.7 trillion Talers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is 80,321 Talers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist, Edged Urcean husbands are dead good at fathering kids, and the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edged Urcea's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Edged Urcea is ranked 77,765th in the world and 51st in Rainbow Society for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,281.45 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
