The Federal Republic of 128 Uma is a massive, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.376 billion 128 Umen 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.8%.

The powerhouse 128 Uman economy, worth 92.9 trillion monies 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. 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 67,544 monies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,816 per year while the poor average 12,470, a ratio of 20.4 to 1.

Visitors to 128 Uma are microchipped and must be escorted by a 128 Uman soldier - even to the bathroom, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, funding for education has been redirected into the military, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 128 Uma's national animal is the card, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

128 Uma is ranked 41,821st in the world and 205th in Izern for Nicest Citizens, with 18.34 average smiles per day.
