The Republic of 29 Uma is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its closed borders, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 1.689 billion 29 Umen are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.1%.

The powerhouse 29 Uman economy, worth 146 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 black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. 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 86,693 monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, military pistols are more secure than the national treasury, and evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 29 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

29 Uma is ranked 53,255^th in the world and 172^nd in Izern for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,519.88 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
