The Empire of Ump125 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.707 billion Ump125ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 71.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Ump125ian economy, worth 824 trillion Pesos a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 175,197 Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.
Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Ump125's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump125's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ump125 is ranked 110,957th in the world and 1,365th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 355.72846677808 days.
