The Formosian Republican State of Urki Midrish is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Midrishi Gonzale with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.198 billion Urki Midrishians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Urki. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Urki Midrishian economy, worth 542 trillion Urkis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 129,168 Urkis, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.
Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, and foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urki Midrish's national animal is the Midrish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Midrian.
Urki Midrish is ranked 238,124th in the world and 445th in The Funian Puppet Region for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.69 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
