The Republic of Urial52 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.433 billion Urial52ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Urial52ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,186 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 294,220 lire, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.
Recognizing the Urial52ian flag qualifies you for citizenship, signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading Urial52ian justice, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, and election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial52's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Urial52 is ranked 281,313th in the world and 10,708th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5.39 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
