The Republic of 28 Uma is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The cynical, devout population of 1.455 billion 28 Umen are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.1%.

The frighteningly efficient 28 Uman economy, worth 135 trillion monies a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,434 monies, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and if the best leaders are those who don't want to lead then Leader's lack of leadership must be a great leadership quality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 28 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

28 Uma is ranked 69,281^st in the world and 286^th in Izern for Most Developed, scoring 70.92 on the Human Development Index.
