The Republic of Urial7 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, aversion to nipples, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.211 billion Urial7ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 90.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Urial7ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,964 trillion pounds 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, 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 272,455 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide, blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued, Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial7's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Urial7 is ranked 117,570th in the world and 2,065th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 311.71141161568 days.
