The Republic of 4 Uma is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, avowedly heterosexual populace, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.471 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.6%.

The powerhouse 4 Uman economy, worth 135 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. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,901 banks, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

Visitors to 4 Uma are microchipped and must be escorted by a 4 Uman soldier - even to the bathroom, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, politicians have tenure, and homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities. 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 teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

4 Uma is ranked 66,105^th in the world and 163^rd in Izern for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 9.89 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
