The Nomadic Peoples of Ump12 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.938 billion Ump12ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ump12ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,331 trillion Dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,897 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child, only toddlers and the elderly watch television before 23:00, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, and voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump12's national animal is the Black Widow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ump12 is ranked 110,832nd in the world and 1,305th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 355.7386959382 days.
