The Republic of Urayia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ricardo Castillo with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.693 billion Urayians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyarona. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Urayian economy, worth 230 trillion Yeras a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 85,633 Yeras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bris parties are all the rage, most barbers are also surgeons, young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, and what goes down must come up. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Urayia's national animal is the Koro Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Urayia is ranked 27,232^nd in the world and 1,049^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 83 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
