The Republic of Urial32 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.382 billion Urial32ians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 77.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial32ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,901 trillion pesos 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, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. 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 257,567 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

People accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, the decision to be oppressed is now made democratically, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, and pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial32's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Urial32 is ranked 10,424th in the world and 620th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
