The Republic of 34 Uma is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.507 billion 34 Umen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.4%.

The frighteningly efficient 34 Uman economy, worth 160 trillion monies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,389 monies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 391,069 per year while the poor average 20,466, a ratio of 19.1 to 1.

Glamping 34 Umen won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, and a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 34 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

34 Uma is ranked 99,373^rd in the world and 514^th in Izern for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 97.36 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
