The Principality of Ump393 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.784 billion Ump393ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump393ian economy, worth 970 trillion Pesos 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, Information Technology, Tourism, 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 202,818 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, Leader's military council has been nicknamed 'The Knights of the Rotund Table', and the overhead luggage compartment is often full. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump393's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump393 is ranked 7,275^th in the world and 517^th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 184.17 kickbacks per hour.
