The Empire of Ump2

“Puppet”

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

The Empire of Ump2 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, parental licensing program, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.842 billion Ump2ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,556 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 227,514 Pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 651,386 per year while the poor average 63,261, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Leader's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, and there's more pink stuff on sale these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump2's national animal is the Giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump2 is ranked 273,352^nd in the world and 10,111^th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.76 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
