The Republic of 23 Uma is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, devout population of 1.644 billion 23 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.3%.

The frighteningly efficient 23 Uman economy, worth 182 trillion monies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,892 monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, and six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 23 Uma's national animal is the card, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

23 Uma is ranked 25,121^st in the world and 69^th in Izern for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 7,486.02 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
