The People's Socialist Republic of Urgabah is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 42.865 billion Urgabahians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it 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 16,020 trillion Uollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, 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. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 373,750 Uollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling. 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 71st in the world and 1st in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 297.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
