The Disputed Territories of Ump302 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.602 billion Ump302ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Ump302ian economy, worth 837 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 181,992 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.
Politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, tens of thousands of revelers have been arrested for trying to celebrate the recent world anniversary (Ump302 has found 4 easter eggs), only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, and the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Giraffe Dung" has been declared a national treasure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump302's national animal is the Giraffe, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Ump302 is ranked 111,133rd in the world and 1,550th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 355.71048067848 days.
