The Republic of Alpha Umi is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.77 billion Alpha Umians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The strong Alpha Umian economy, worth 123 trillion glimmers a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 44,565 glimmers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 277,598 per year while the poor average 3,059, a ratio of 90.7 to 1.

Everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Alpha Umian. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Alpha Umi's national animal is the black cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Alpha Umi is ranked 276,983^rd in the world and 2^nd in Speedgecko Isle for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
