The Republic of Urial12 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.272 billion Urial12ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Urial12ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,591 trillion dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 218,920 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, and military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial12's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Urial12 is ranked 117,546th in the world and 2,066th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 312.71023736532 days.
