The Republic of Uranus08 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Dick with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 33.682 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, prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. 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 13,978 trillion Plugs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 415,000 Plugs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, one complaint of Uranus08's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, reddish-brown is the new black, and talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. 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 64,887th in the world and 602nd in Balder for Most Stationary, with 743.00724669728 days.
