The Republic of 9 Uma is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 1.967 billion 9 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 9 Uman economy, worth 225 trillion banks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,633 banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Policies are debated via video essays and tier lists, understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance, major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, and people boast about their low income on their dating profiles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 9 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

9 Uma is ranked 123,074^th in the world and 419^th in Izern for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,690.81 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
