The Theocracy of Ump168 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, aversion to nipples, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.681 billion Ump168ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 79.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ump168ian economy, worth 850 trillion Dollars 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, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. 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 impressive 181,603 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
It is well recognised that you can't sustain communism without a bit of spirit, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, political commentators say that Leader's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped, and citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump168's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ump168 is ranked 110,995th in the world and 1,378th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 355.72381400328 days.
