The Sultanate of The Urkerrith is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Sultan with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 16.67 billion Urkerrithians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Administration, although Law & Order, Industry, and Defense are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belgium. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Urkerrithian economy, worth a remarkable 4,050 trillion bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 242,972 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
The government is crossing the Rubicon in its levels of corruption, tax assessment offices double as polling stations, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, and employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Urkerrith's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is no religion.
The Urkerrith is ranked 35,014th in the world and 5th in Valhalla for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
