The Confederacy of Uchiumop is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning Cat population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6 million Uchiumopians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 14.6%.

The Uchiumopian economy, worth 290 billion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 48,440 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Uchiumop's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Uchiumop is ranked 87,790^th in the world and 866^th in the Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,493.43 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
