The Oppressed Peoples of Umbel is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 23.004 billion Umbelians 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 relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Healthcare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 10.9%.

The strong Umbelian economy, worth 767 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 33,354 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed, all tariffs have been abolished, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Umbel's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Umbel is ranked 2,811th in the world and 51st in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 3,836.70587784 days.
