The Republic of Urial56 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, parental licensing program, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.421 billion Urial56ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 33.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial56ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,664 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 224,268 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, lending money has become a major liability, middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, and the overhead luggage compartment is often full. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial56's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Urial56 is ranked 269,066th in the world and 9,734th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -235.26 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
