The Republic of Uranus08 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dick with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 39.155 billion Uranus08ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uranus08 City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Uranus08ian economy, worth an astonishing 16,300 trillion Plugs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 416,306 Plugs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,667,719 per year while the poor average 69,729, a ratio of 23.9 to 1.

Vigilant Uranus08ians can see disasters coming from a mile away, baby formula has some strange packaging, acknowledgement of minority groups is usually a Trojan horse, and the prisoners of Azkatraz have a new emperor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Uranus08's national animal is the Monkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a major religion.

Uranus08 is ranked 1,094^th in the world and 35^th in Osiris for Highest Average Incomes, with 416,306.6 Standard Monetary Units.
