The Republic of Urial92 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.316 billion Urial92ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Urial92ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,620 trillion florins a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 221,465 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
The traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, an exhibition on wolf memes is currently starring at the National Art Gallery, citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone, and spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial92's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Urial92 is ranked 27,553rd in the world and 1,854th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
