The Republic of Urial21 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, enslaved workforce, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.091 billion Urial21ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 38.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Urial21ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,071 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. 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 227,904 rupees, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.
Billions of rupees are spent to take high-quality photos of the Kangaroo Nebula, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, and racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial21's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Urial21 is ranked 336,358th in the world and 16,011th in Balder for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -12.52 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
