The Republic of 32 Uma is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.62 billion 32 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 32 Uman economy, worth 169 trillion monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 104,920 monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, commemoration of the Great Izern War costs almost as much as the war itself, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and children are encouraged to fail at school so as not to appear too enlightened. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 32 Uma's national animal is the card, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

32 Uma is ranked 54,947th in the world and 243rd in Izern for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 82.69 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
