The Republic of 37 Uma is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, enslaved workforce, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.488 billion 37 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.9%.

The all-consuming 37 Uman economy, worth 138 trillion monies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,148 monies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 277,373 per year while the poor average 24,510, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content, politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 37 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
