The Empire of Urunur is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.154 billion Urunurians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 48.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Urunurian economy, worth 119 trillion Urunurese tyalháns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,688 Urunurese tyalháns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, young girls often attend the same schools as their children, the logging industry is celebrating as tourists plaster Urunur with trees, and sections of the police receive paramilitary training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urunur's national animal is the Möngeyal Eagle.

Urunur is ranked 272,574^th in the world and 86^th in The Western Isles for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 25.95 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
