The Republic of Urial55 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.433 billion Urial55ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial55ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,798 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 241,897 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 842,860 per year while the poor average 50,545, a ratio of 16.7 to 1.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, corporate lobbying has been outlawed, Leader is worshipped as a god, and laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial55's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Urial55 is ranked 286,522nd in the world and 11,066th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.54 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
