The Republic of Nation of Urie is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ron McVay with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 9.125 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 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nation of Uriean economy, worth a remarkable 1,891 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 207,266 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. Nation of Urie's national animal is the Ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nation of Urie is ranked 142,642^nd in the world and 3,721^st in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 487.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
