The Republic of 2 Uma is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.879 billion 2 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 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient 2 Uman economy, worth 220 trillion banks 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 Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. 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 an impressive 117,513 banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, policies are debated via video essays and tier lists, passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, and 2 Umen are shown the peaceful ways of free trade by force. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 2 Uma's national animal is the card, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
2 Uma is ranked 19,151st in the world and 63rd in Izern for Safest, scoring 113.85 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
