The United States of New Umoja is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 497 million New Umojans 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 minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The thriving New Umojan economy, worth 35.7 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 71,813 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 270,774 per year while the poor average 13,270, a ratio of 20.4 to 1.

A traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, more citizens have access to Maxtopian Grass than clean drinking water, and professional athletes can't see balls amid the deluge of advertisements. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. New Umoja's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

New Umoja is ranked 11,658^th in the world and 3^rd in Sonnel for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 6,891.47 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
