The Republic of Urial78 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its public floggings, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.443 billion Urial78ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 81.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial78ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,114 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 284,133 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, sex changes are routinely performed at Urial78's hospitals, and calling dibs is an unalienable right. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial78's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Urial78 is ranked 283,717th in the world and 10,594th in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.17 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
