The Sultanate of Ump155 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ubiquitous missile silos, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.822 billion Ump155ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump155ian economy, worth 908 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 188,478 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, binoculars sales are at an all-time high, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump155's national animal is the Scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ump155 is ranked 32,013th in the world and 1,999th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 813.29 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
