The Republic of Ump246 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.842 billion Ump246ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Ump246ian economy, worth 872 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 180,101 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 624,288 per year while the poor average 37,931, a ratio of 16.5 to 1.
It's never "just a game" with Ump246ian sports fans, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities, and the statue in the Park Plaza has a solar panel for a hat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump246's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Ump246 is ranked 270,326th in the world and 9,837th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -242.73 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
