The Republic of 43 Uma is a massive, safe nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.654 billion 43 Umen are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming 43 Uman economy, worth 136 trillion monies a year, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,620 monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's military council has been nicknamed 'The Knights of the Rotund Table', the leaders of 43 Uma are given the nod by their predecessors, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, and TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 43 Uma's national animal is the card, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

43 Uma is ranked 22,803^rd in the world and 56^th in Izern for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 7,740.47 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
