The Federal Republic of 72 Uma is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.575 billion 72 Umen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.4%.

The powerhouse 72 Uman economy, worth 146 trillion monies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,263 monies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 293,386 per year while the poor average 22,684, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers, weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, and rural 72 Umen stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 72 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

72 Uma is ranked 289,705^th in the world and 842^nd in Izern for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 34.02 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
