The Republic of Urial95 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.44 billion Urial95ians 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, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial95ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,777 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 238,864 pesos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 896,077 per year while the poor average 44,498, a ratio of 20.1 to 1.

School lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, caroling is considered a public disturbance, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial95's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Urial95 is ranked 5,103rd in the world and 207th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 11,978.04 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
