The State of Urmgard is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.13 billion Urmgardians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Defense aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The very strong Urmgardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,000 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 36,895 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 250,846 per year while the poor average 1,982, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is a serious problem. Urmgard's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Urmgard is ranked 234,925^th in the world and 8^th in Kampala for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 7.07 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
