The Republic of 9 Uma is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, pith helmet sales, and enslaved workforce. The cynical, devout population of 1.848 billion 9 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 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 9 Uman economy, worth 209 trillion banks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,624 banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, the terminally ill are applying for visas from their bed, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 9 Uma's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

9 Uma is ranked 13,914^th in the world and 2^nd in Izern for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,855.71 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
