The Republic of 53 Uma is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.472 billion 53 Umen are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming 53 Uman economy, worth 120 trillion monies a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,816 monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Masterpieces by male artists are on display in the dumpsters behind the gallery, foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, universities now offer degrees in cycling etiquette, and 53 Uma's first free elections in recent memory have been successfully concluded. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 53 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

53 Uma is ranked 230,548^th in the world and 366^th in Izern for Fattest Citizens, with 8.32 Obesity Rate.
