The Republic of Urial16 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.923 billion Urial16ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Urial16ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,504 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 280,663 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks, a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, and party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial16's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Urial16 is ranked 3,484th in the world and 154th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,829.13 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
