The Republic of 20 Uma is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.726 billion 20 Umen are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.2%.

The very strong 20 Uman economy, worth 143 trillion banks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,389 banks, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, the urinary fragrance of seedier establishments is thankfully hidden by the smell of stale smoke, warning signs caution 20 Umen where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', and money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 20 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

20 Uma is ranked 44,849^th in the world and 174^th in Izern for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 21,980.1 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
