The Republic of 21 Uma is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The humorless, devout population of 1.498 billion 21 Umen are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 72.3%.

The frighteningly efficient 21 Uman economy, worth 148 trillion monies a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,085 monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and babies are a small but significant export. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 21 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

21 Uma is ranked 34,609^th in the world and 87^th in Izern for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,462.04 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
