The Republic of Urial93 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.222 billion Urial93ians 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, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 84.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Urial93ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,947 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 269,685 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.
The government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, and students cut up leftover lire during Arts and Crafts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urial93's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Urial93 is ranked 117,671st in the world and 1,935th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 311.69960606768 days.
