The Republic of Urial85 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.365 billion Urial85ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Urial85ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,982 trillion baht a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 269,211 baht, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.
Urial85 has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading Urial85ian justice, and teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial85's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Urial85 is ranked 6,313th in the world and 379th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 110.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
