The Heavenly Realm of Urhlan is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Ctibor IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.74 billion Urhs are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tamok. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Urhlanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,532 trillion Ports a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 289,745 Ports, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,645,061 per year while the poor average 3,499, a ratio of 755 to 1.

At least 4 unique companies in Urhlan claim to sell Eckie-Cola, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, an increasing number of citizens believe the world is flat, and the best defense is a good fence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urhlan's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.

Urhlan is ranked 293,002^nd in the world and 11,280^th in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 0.12 average smiles per day.
