The Oppressed Peoples of Mobile Updater is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, digital currency, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.676 billion Mobile Updaters 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 34.9%.

The strong Mobile Updating economy, worth 106 trillion hurting fingers a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,800 hurting fingers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, and students do more community service than homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mobile Updater's national animal is the Internet lag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mobile Updater is ranked 157,499th in the world and 2,374th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,836.36 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
