The Oppressed Peoples of Umisia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, parental licensing program, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 14.329 billion Umisians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyaesurn. The average income tax rate is 71.1%.

The all-consuming Umisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,237 trillion Oaldoes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Basket Weaving, Gambling, 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 86,390 Oaldoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences", jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, state-manufactured hammers and sickles are here to stay, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Tyaesurn" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Umisia's national animal is the wombat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Taoism.

Umisia is ranked 70,648^th in the world and 11^th in Ijaka for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
