The Republic of Nation of Urie is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Ron McVay with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 13.095 billion Nation of Urieans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urie Nation City. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Nation of Uriean economy, worth a remarkable 2,702 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,405 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, anti-government web sites are springing up, and Nation of Uriean scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nation of Urie's national animal is the Ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nation of Urie is ranked 116,398^th in the world and 2,782^nd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,230.41 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
