[[Urcea]] is a superpower which occupies most of southwestern Levantia. It is a constitutional monarchy with fairly considerable civil and democratic rights, though society is entirely viewed through the perspective of the [[Catholic Church]], which is the single most important social institution in the country. Accordingly, the economic institutions of the country are relatively inclusive while its social views are considered archaic and discriminatory by most non-Catholics. The country internally has a mix of medieval, Catholic distributist, and democratic institutions which create a somewhat unique social blend. The ideology of [[Organicism]] is the primary governing ideology of the country. Much of the country is like the American northeast or American west with European overtones for some of its cities. Urceans themselves are a fusion of Gaelic and Latin peoples, and their language - [[Lebhan language]] - is intended to be a Romance language incorporating Gaelic and Latin.

Quality of life is very high, but lags for marginalized groups due to soft discrimination.

Urcea's origins lay in the collapse of [[Great Levantia]], an empire which spanned most of the Levantine continent. Its capital city, [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], was center of the empire. As the empire collapsed into a number of tribal and feudal polities, the continent was partly united again by the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]. Urcea originated as a series of dynastic holdings within the Holy Levantine Empire centering around Urceopolis, which was held by an ancient Great Levantine family known as the [[Julian dynasty]]. The Julians amalgamated several territories in southern Levantia before uniting it all in a kingdom in 1098. The country underwent various phases of civil war, religious strife, and reform before becoming a major global power towards the end of the 19th century, a status which was confirmed as one of the primary participants in the [[Second Great War]] during the early-mid 20th century.
