The Republic of Urial29 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.217 billion Urial29ians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 35.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial29ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,604 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. 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 222,320 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, Urial29 has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, golden statues of porpoises line the memorial avenues of the Funerary District, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Urial29's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Urial29 is ranked 117,592nd in the world and 2,075th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 311.7084463398 days.
