The Republic of Urial56 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.264 billion Urial56ians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 31.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial56ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,627 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 224,039 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial56's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Urial56 is ranked 117,628th in the world and 2,219th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 311.70548106392 days.
