The Republic of 5 Uma is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.458 billion 5 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.8%.

The all-consuming 5 Uman economy, worth 162 trillion banks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,446 banks, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, petting zoos have loose fingers strewn about, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, and black tea is only available on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 5 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

5 Uma is ranked 84,080^th in the world and 234^th in Izern for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 6.68 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
