The Community of URST is a tiny, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 7 million URSTians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fair URSTian economy, worth 191 billion URSTS a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,278 URSTS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All recreational drugs are legal, pension obligations are building, requests for password resets peak during election season, and the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. URST's national animal is the Bingo.

URST is ranked 175,837^th in the world and 480^th in The Communist Bloc for Smartest Citizens, with 26.57 quips per hour.
