The Republic of Urial30 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, avowedly heterosexual populace, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.218 billion Urial30ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial30ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,782 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 246,895 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 827,243 per year while the poor average 54,729, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

Asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, livestock mutilations are on the rise, the transit system is throwing poor people under the bus, and Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial30's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Urial30 is ranked 117,592nd in the world and 2,211th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 311.7083768954 days.
