The Rogue Nation of Ump174 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.701 billion Ump174ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 84.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Ump174ian economy, worth 727 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 a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 154,732 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Saying that someone looks a bit pale can be construed as hate speech, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and Leader tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump174's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ump174 is ranked 110,993rd in the world and 1,370th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 355.72319594812 days.
