The United Republic of the Congo (French: Royaume-République du Congo), abbreviated URC, is a country founded in 2017 out of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo, with its capital being Kinshasa. The URC primarily used former DRC government establishments, such as the flag and coat of arms, but some elements were changed, such as the motto and the anthem. The URC had a considerably greater economy than its predecessors, with the GDP being at $347.9 billion. At the same time, most of the country's cities and towns were modernized, and the Armed Forces of the URC were modernized. The United Nations rated the URC as the most stable and richest nation in Africa.
