The Republic of Urial68 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, vat-grown people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.441 billion Urial68ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial68ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,942 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 261,092 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is hungry to spread communism beyond the nation's borders, students cut up leftover francs during Arts and Crafts, royal processions are often mistaken for pride parades, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial68's national animal is the porpoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Urial68 is ranked 284,479^th in the world and 10,984^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.15 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
