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 deadly medical pandemics, ubiquitous missile silos, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 10.769 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ursus Majoro. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ursian economy, worth a remarkable 3,979 trillion Ursian Kultas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 369,548 Ursian Kultas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,440,163 per year while the poor average 64,757, a ratio of 22.2 to 1.

The government has certified several glow-in-the-dark athletes as drug free, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Ursus Majoro, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime is totally unknown. 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 51,201^st in the world and 93^rd in Wintreath for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
