The Republic of 42 Uma is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its smutty television, disturbing lack of elderly people, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.679 billion 42 Umen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.1%.

The all-consuming 42 Uman economy, worth 172 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. 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 102,547 monies, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

4U-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, singing in public is only allowed if you are singing the praise of the Motherland, Scrabble champions have been left scrambling for scraps, and among slaves 'bastard' is an honorific rather than an insult. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 42 Uma's national animal is the card, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

42 Uma is ranked 273,250^th in the world and 803^rd in Izern for Least Corrupt Governments, with 77.09 percentage of bribes refused.
