The Republic of Urial15 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, ritual sacrifices, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.398 billion Urial15ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 63.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial15ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,821 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 246,149 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', and the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial15's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Urial15 is ranked 3,718th in the world and 230th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 264.63 kickbacks per hour.
