The Republic of Uranus08 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Dick with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, flagrant waste-dumping, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 35.391 billion Uranus08ians 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 minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uranus08 City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Uranus08ian economy, worth an astonishing 14,563 trillion Plugs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 411,501 Plugs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public, the government's new priority is citizens' access to cat videos, and homesickness is thought to be a waterborne illness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Uranus08's national animal is the Monkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a major religion.

Uranus08 is ranked 332,866^th in the world and 16,075^th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -15.17 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
