The People's Socialist Republic of Urgabah is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 44.485 billion Urgabahians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cornucopia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Urgabahian economy, worth an astonishing 16,658 trillion Uollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 374,478 Uollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, retirees make up the bulk of foreign students, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urgabah's national animal is the Monitor Lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Urgabah is ranked 82^nd in the world and 1^st in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 297.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
