The Republic of Urial76 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.928 billion Urial76ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial76ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,695 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 189,873 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 638,316 per year while the poor average 41,879, a ratio of 15.2 to 1.

Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, the law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, the average video game can be completed over lunch break, and returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial76's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Urial76 is ranked 197,825th in the world and 10,136th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 678.68 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
