The Federal Republic of 89 Uma is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.697 billion 89 Umen are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.4%.
The frighteningly efficient 89 Uman economy, worth 192 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 113,087 monies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 398,887 per year while the poor average 23,192, a ratio of 17.2 to 1.
Commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, citizens must inform the government each time they have a haircut, anyone with an emergency on a holy day is advised to pray harder, and the most sacred right is the right to ignore the rights of slaves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 89 Uma's national animal is the card, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
89 Uma is ranked 276,115th in the world and 855th in Izern for Nicest Citizens, with 1.34 average smiles per day.
