The Republic of Urial87 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.328 billion Urial87ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Urial87ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,940 trillion francs 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 Basket Weaving. 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 264,739 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards, and the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial87's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Urial87 is ranked 8,191^st in the world and 443^rd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 105.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
