The Rick of Ur hearts been aching but is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Rick Astley with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.381 billion Ur hearts been aching butians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rick. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ur hearts been aching butian economy, worth 652 trillion Ricks 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, 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 121,227 Ricks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, Ur hearts been aching butian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Rick Astley, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, and Ur hearts been aching butians suffer not the eggplant emoji to live. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ur hearts been aching but's national animal is the Rick, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ur hearts been aching but is ranked 50,579th in the world and 229th in The Funian Puppet Region for Largest Governments, scoring 22.32 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
