The Canton of Uri is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.475 billion Urners are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Altdorf. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The very strong Urner economy, worth 234 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 67,360 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 199,223 per year while the poor average 17,895, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

Photos of picturesque coastal buildings are set against a backdrop of smokestacks and ship hulls, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, Leader has just been declared ruler of Uri in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Uri's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Uri's national animal is the bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Uri is ranked 105,235^th in the world and 3^rd in Swiss Confederation for Most Patriotic, with 15.83 flags saluted per person per day.
