The Free Land of Ump205 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, ritual sacrifices, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.849 billion Ump205ians 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, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 80.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump205ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,012 trillion Dollars 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, 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 amazing 208,844 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The decision to be oppressed is now made democratically, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, and wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump205's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ump205 is ranked 30,022^nd in the world and 1,815^th in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 67.53 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
