The Federal Republic of 112 Uma is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.282 billion 112 Umen are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming 112 Uman economy, worth 109 trillion monies a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,264 monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Music award shows include surprise polygraph segments, little children cry as their rainbow drawings are seized by the Straight-Thought Police, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 112 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

112 Uma is ranked 27,608^th in the world and 19^th in Izern for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
