The Republic of Urial1 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.271 billion Urial1ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,443 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 198,591 francs, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses, and five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial1's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Urial1 is ranked 117,578th in the world and 2,065th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 311.71227967068 days.
