History

 * According to myth, it was founded by the legendary hero Gilgamesh and named after his home city of Uruk. There is a huge, ancient statue in the capitol city that bears a striking resemblance to the golden age hero Gil G. Mesh.
 * Around 1932 a flying saucer from the far off planet Moxio-6 crashed nearly into Castle Glazkov, resulting in the super origin of Miss Moxie.
 * The Nazis invaded and annexed Urucia in the early years of WWII.
 * Shortly after the war, Urucia joined the USSR and became infamous for secret (often alien-related) weapons developments.
