The Republic of Urial26 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, avowedly heterosexual populace, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.37 billion Urial26ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 39.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Urial26ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,693 trillion baht 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 229,732 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Babies are a small but significant export, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, and exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial26's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Urial26 is ranked 18,222nd in the world and 1,174th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 91.22 law-abiding acts per hour.
