“Surely some revelation is at hand”

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

The People's Republic of Ump438 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.683 billion Ump438ians 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 Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump438ian economy, worth 968 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,772 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep, there is no rest for the widowed, Leader's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, and collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump438's national animal is the Giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump438 is ranked 266,183^rd in the world and 10,038^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.85 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
