The Free Land of Ump193 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.874 billion Ump193ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 77.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump193ian economy, worth 992 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 203,533 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', all industry is owned and run by the government, and diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump193's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump193 is ranked 274,777^th in the world and 10,156^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 7.45 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
