The Democratic States of Ump13 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.009 billion Ump13ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 88.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Ump13ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,845 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 263,239 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.
No one born in Ump13 can fix a leaky faucet, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, and the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump13's national animal is the Black Widow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ump13 is ranked 285,221st in the world and 10,642nd in Osiris for Safest, scoring 5.46 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
