The Republic of 9 Uma is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. The cynical, devout population of 1.913 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 9 Uman economy, worth 217 trillion banks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,829 banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of 9 Uman Embarrassments, binoculars sales are at an all-time high, and business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders. 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 72,636^th in the world and 367^th in Izern for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,417.96 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
