The Republic of 12 Uma is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.695 billion 12 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.1%.

The frighteningly efficient 12 Uman economy, worth 199 trillion banks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,602 banks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 426,814 per year while the poor average 23,078, a ratio of 18.5 to 1.

If the best leaders are those who don't want to lead then Leader's lack of leadership must be a great leadership quality, the law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, and newly-peaceful nations are forced to use assault rifles as farming tools due to a lack of funds for purchasing anything else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 12 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

12 Uma is ranked 46,724^th in the world and 60^th in Izern for Highest Average Incomes, with 117,602.49 Standard Monetary Units.
