The Republic of 2 Uma is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, zero percent divorce rate, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.862 billion 2 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 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 2 Uman economy, worth 220 trillion banks 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. 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 118,669 banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

A blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room, and biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 2 Uma's national animal is the card, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

2 Uma is ranked 131,108^th in the world and 537^th in Izern for Nicest Citizens, with 13 average smiles per day.
