The Most Serene Republic of Ump194 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.679 billion Ump194ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Ump194ian economy, worth 777 trillion Dollars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 166,185 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 712,681 per year while the poor average 24,803, a ratio of 28.7 to 1.
Corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, the Small Council has more than a little influence, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and well-off serial killers write monthly checks to avoid jail time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump194's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Ump194 is ranked 111,012th in the world and 1,518th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 355.72111261612 days.
