The Republic of 46 Uma is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The cynical, devout population of 1.466 billion 46 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming 46 Uman economy, worth 132 trillion monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 90,065 monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, and animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 46 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

46 Uma is ranked 73,886^th in the world and 321^st in Izern for Most Developed, scoring 69.21 on the Human Development Index.
