The Confederacy of Ur Argentinian Grandpa is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Drew Durnil IX with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.589 billion Ur Argentinian Grandpans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Long Beach. The average income tax rate is 22.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ur Argentinian Grandpan economy, worth 425 trillion drews a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 164,456 drews, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, only adults may purchase violent video games, and hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ur Argentinian Grandpa's national animal is the druwu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Invisble Hand.

Ur Argentinian Grandpa is ranked 13,687^th in the world and 223^rd in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 346.03 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
