The Colony of Ump213 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.785 billion Ump213ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Ump213ian economy, worth 877 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,460 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.
Construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, and aristocratic family trees are beginning to resemble tumbleweeds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump213's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Ump213 is ranked 23,700th in the world and 1,532nd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
