The Free Land of Ump322 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, ban on automobiles, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.577 billion Ump322ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Ump322ian economy, worth 941 trillion Platinums 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 205,653 Platinums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 619,740 per year while the poor average 53,203, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.
Vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump322's national animal is the Black Widow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ump322 is ranked 111,142nd in the world and 1,433rd in Balder for Most Stationary, with 355.70836262428 days.
