The Republic of Urial60 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, strictly enforced bedtime, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.327 billion Urial60ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Urial60ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,831 trillion marks 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, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 249,942 marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.
The only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial60's national animal is the unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Urial60 is ranked 15,039th in the world and 1,078th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
