The Republic of Umanstan is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning bear population. The hard-working population of 897 million Umanstanians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 15.6%.

The Umanstanian economy, worth 42.5 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 47,327 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Umanstan's national animal is the bear.

Umanstan is ranked 213,995^th in the world and 82^nd in The Mood for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
