The Empire of Ump125

“While the worst Are full of passionate intensity”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Ump125 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.898 billion Ump125ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump125ian economy, worth 864 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 176,504 Pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 508,971 per year while the poor average 48,589, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, all Ump125ians live like kings, and unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very 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 169,180^th in the world and 6,501^st in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 297.21 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
