The Republic of 22 Uma is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.596 billion 22 Umen are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.4%.

The all-consuming 22 Uman economy, worth 155 trillion monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 97,369 monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The urban poor thumbs down the new hitchhiking ban, children are told they have to do well in school if they want to live, there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, and formerly internationally exported goods are now given away for free. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 22 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

22 Uma is ranked 299,536^th in the world and 747^th in Izern for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.77 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
