The Republic of 4 Uma is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.916 billion 4 Umen are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.4%.

The all-consuming 4 Uman economy, worth 187 trillion banks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 97,858 banks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 362,365 per year while the poor average 18,608, a ratio of 19.5 to 1.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, those who don't have a bean to spend don't know a bean about Brasilistanian coffee beans, ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, and people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 4 Uma's national animal is the card, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

4 Uma is ranked 147,686^th in the world and 282^nd in Izern for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,906.42 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
