The Armed Republic of Urbani is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by High Marshal Natasha Fox with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.565 billion Urbanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anchorhead. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Urbanian economy, worth 148 trillion Requisition Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 58,034 Requisition Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's never enough space in space, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, cars have been banned, and excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urbani's national animal is the Albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Urbani is ranked 138,095th in the world and 23rd in New Coalition of Nations for Highest Average Incomes, with 58,034.34 Standard Monetary Units.
