The Receivership of Urcea Major is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Majority Leader Gavin with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 6.229 billion Urceans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urceopolis Major. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Urcean economy, worth 647 trillion Urcean Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,898 Urcean Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 497,670 per year while the poor average 12,692, a ratio of 39.2 to 1.

Meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, newspaper headlines proclaim something happened somewhere at a time, and theories abound over why conspiracy theorists are being arrested. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urcea Major's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Urcea Major is ranked 188,002nd in the world and 12th in Infrastructure for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 165.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
