The Republic of Urial19 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ubiquitous missile silos, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.231 billion Urial19ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 62.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Urial19ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,597 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 220,981 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, no one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits, and skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial19's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Urial19 is ranked 117,596th in the world and 1,906th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 311.7094532836 days.
