The Republic of Urial60 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.438 billion Urial60ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial60ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,859 trillion marks 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. 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 249,942 marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

The only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial60's national animal is the unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Urial60 is ranked 90,960th in the world and 4,126th in Lazarus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 282.77 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
