The Colony of Uranium mining coal is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.732 billion Uranium mining coalians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of UMC headquarters. The average income tax rate is 46.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Uranium mining coalian economy, worth 184 trillion pounds 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 67,257 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, and victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uranium mining coal's national animal is the Cats, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Uranium mining coal is ranked 153,574^th in the world and 137^th in The Sacred Elite for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,970.12 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
