The Republic of Uminaku is a massive, genial nation, ruled by State Assembly with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.076 billion Uminak love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toyohara. The average income tax rate is 84.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Uminak economy, worth 479 trillion Yen a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,568 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, a flying elephant and State Assembly share the same nickname, people's charity begins and ends at home, and serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uminaku's national animal is the Sakhalin Leaf Warbler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Uminaku is ranked 201,233rd in the world and 1,969th in the Pacific for Most Conservative, scoring 46.67 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
