'''Urcea''', officially the '''Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea''', is a {{wp|Constitutional Monarchy}} in [[Levantia]]. It occupies a position in the southern half of [[Levantia]], and it neighbors, among others, [[Fiannria]] to the north, [[Burgundie]] and [[Dericania]] to the east, and [[Anglei]] to the north. The Kingdom's historic borders have largely sat between the [[Ionian Mountains]] and the [[Odoneru Ocean]] in a region known as [[The Valley (Urcea)|the Valley]] and adjacent territories, though its modern borders includes territories beyond both of its "natural borders", a concept that developed in the 17th century.

Although Urcea's roots as a semi-[[Latinic people|Latinic]] nation stretch back to the early foundation of [[Adonerum|Adonerii]] settlements in the Urce river valley, a recognizable Urcean civilization came into being in the chaotic period following the collapse of [[Great Levantia]] and the coalescence of cities and areas into early medieval polities. It was during this period that the earliest roots of modern Urcean culture was established as a fusion between the settled Latins and native [[Gaelic people|Gaels]], a duality that defines Urcean national identity. It was a major part of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] from its foundation, and its history is shaped by that institution, and has its historical origins as unions of several of the Empire's constituent parts. At times, Urcea came to dominate the Empire, but ultimately played a major role in its downfall throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. The [[Catholic Church|Catholic faith]] has proved to be a major factor in the development of the Urcean state, and the Apostolic Kingdom played a pivotal role in the [[Great Confessional War]] and the entrenchment of Catholicism in Levantia. Urcea's closeness with Catholicism is one of its best known characteristics worldwide, and the [[Pope|Papacy]] resides in [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] under Urcean temporal protection. The nation and its government are officially [[Catholic Church|Catholic]], and much of the nation's policy decision-making revolves around {{wp|distributism|distributist}} and {{wp|Catholic social teaching|Catholic social}} principles, including {{wp|subsidiarity}} and its application with communal, local democracy. The Catholic faith proves to be one of the defining characteristics of the country; the great [[Kiravia|Kiravian]] scholar [[P. G. W. Gelema]] once stated that "if [[Caphiria]] is corporations with a state, than it should very much be said Urcea is a Church with a state". | Although Urcea's roots as a semi-[[Latinic people|Latinic]] nation stretch back to the early foundation of [[Adonerum|Adonerii]] settlements in the Urce river valley, a recognizable Urcean civilization came into being in the chaotic period following the collapse of [[Great Levantia]] and the coalescence of cities and areas into early medieval polities.

Urceans enjoy one of the world's largest and healthiest economies, with a per capita income of more than $55,000 annually and with burgeoning middle and upper classes. The arms manufacturing and energy sectors are among the nation's largest, but the Urcean export economy is perhaps best known for its large scale {{wp|grain}} production, earning it the moniker of "breadbasket of the [[Odoneru Ocean|Odoneru]]". With involvement from mercantile interests from [[Burgundie]] and [[Caphiria]], many scholars have argued that the Urcean-Odoneru grain trade was the birthplace of {{wp|capitalism}}, though there is a significant minority view that questions this assertion. | ||
Urcea's foreign policy focus primarily relies on maintaining balanced hegemony over [[Levantia]] and growing its sphere of influence abroad, but historically had a focus on involvement in the affairs of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]. While a major participant in the [[Second Great War]] and subsequent [[Occidental Cold War]], Urcea's relationship with its powerful neighbor [[Caphiria]] has been improving in recent years as shown by the formal end to the Cold War with the [[Assumption Accords]]. Both as a consequence and a cause of the end of the Cold War, Urcea's overseas focus has shifted from [[Sarpedon]] to [[Crona]], where it maintains an active union and relationship with [[New Harren]] and other states, which many critics have labeled as Urcean colonies. Urcea's involvement in [[Crona]] has been growing by the year as a greater number of [[Levantia|Levantines]] move west in search of new opportunities, a phenomenon actively supported by the Urcean government. | Urcea's foreign policy focus primarily relies on maintaining balanced hegemony over [[Levantia]] and growing its sphere of influence abroad, but historically had a focus on involvement in the affairs of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]].

The | The 2030 national census of Urcea counted a total population of 775,224,985, and the country enjoys a net population growth of approximately 1.46% per year. Much of the population growth is natural, as Urcea's considerable population density and development means the country is a world leader in out-migration, and Urceans leaving the country typically relocate to one of its possessions in [[Crona]], such as [[New Harren]]. Urcea's population density - 611.2 per square mile - is among the highest in the world, though this density is not evenly spread throughout the country and a majority of Urceans live in just six of Urcea's [[Government of Urcea#List%20of%20Subnational%20Divisions|subnational divisions]], of which there thirty four. | ||

The country is generally appraised a strong economy, with a GDP per capita of roughly $56,000 as of 2030 and a total national GDP of $43.4 trillion, which makes it the world's largest economy. Industrial manufacturing, agriculture, and natural resource gathering (yielding uranium overseas, among other resources) constitute some of the largest segments of the economy, though most economic analysts have classified the country as partly post-industrial due to a shift to some service economy sectors. The "nuclear revolution" that ocurred during and after [[The Deluge|the Deluge]] revolutionized the economy. Combined with major transmission infrastructure investments, Urcea enjoys some of the cheapest consumer electricity in the world, facilitating a major boom in high-tech manufacturing for things like electric cars and appliances. | ||
[[Guilds (Urcea)|Guilds]] play a major role in the oversight and public participation in the economy. All sectors within the economy have been organized into forty statutory sectors with one guild for each, and every firm and associated organized labor unit participates in their respective guild. The system oversees labor conditions within the country, creating a unique system of self-regulation. The guilds assemble in the [[Gildertach]], a body capable of changing laws relating to the guild system and approving trade agreements. | [[Guilds (Urcea)|Guilds]] play a major role in the oversight and public participation in the economy.
