The Republic of 51 Uma is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its closed borders, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.503 billion 51 Umen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.9%.

The powerhouse 51 Uman economy, worth 134 trillion monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 89,374 monies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 351,715 per year while the poor average 15,414, a ratio of 22.8 to 1.

An extra hand on the leg will give a horse-and-a-half of lead in a hundred jiffies on seven furlongs, the police double as repo men, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and among slaves 'bastard' is an honorific rather than an insult. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 51 Uma's national animal is the card, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

51 Uma is ranked 223,640^th in the world and 257^th in Izern for Largest Populations, with 1.50 billion capita.
