The Republic of Urial97 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its teetotalling pirates, parental licensing program, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.235 billion Urial97ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Urial97ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,463 trillion rupees 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, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 202,343 rupees, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 618,118 per year while the poor average 51,340, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
The government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins, children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', and funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial97's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Urial97 is ranked 117,674th in the world and 2,094th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 311.69911995688 days.
