The Most Serene Republic of Ump15 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, avant-garde cinema, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.886 billion Ump15ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump15ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,555 trillion Dollars 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an amazing 225,903 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, it is well recognised that you can't sustain communism without a bit of spirit, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump15's national animal is the Black Widow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump15 is ranked 110,843rd in the world and 1,464th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 355.73846677168 days.
