The Matriarchy of Ump113 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.673 billion Ump113ians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ump113ian economy, worth 831 trillion Pesos 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 impressive 177,926 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Leader to cartoon bears, the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Ump113ian democracy, lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, and warfare increasingly resembles a video game. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump113's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ump113 is ranked 110,974th in the world and 1,346th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 355.7296681662 days.
