The United Socialist States of Ump364 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.59 billion Ump364ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 70.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump364ian economy, worth 970 trillion Golds 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, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 211,455 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Ump364, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', and thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump364's national animal is the Wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ump364 is ranked 111,184th in the world and 1,570th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 355.70343901632 days.
