The Empire of Urbe is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lucius Tiberius with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.019 billion urbans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cittá di Urbs. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The strong urban economy, worth 278 trillion florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 46,221 florins, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, Urbe has designated Cittá di Urbs as its capital city, Lucius Tiberius has just been declared ruler of Urbe in an international press conference, and Roman Catholic has been named as Urbe's national religion. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Urbe's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Urbe is ranked 303,977^th in the world and 24^th in Palatine for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -7.07 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
