The Allied States of Ump214 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.674 billion Ump214ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 61.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ump214ian economy, worth 896 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. 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 191,776 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
High school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, romantic sunsets are no longer interrupted by explosions and monstrous roars, human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, and the government insists that a ghost voted ten million times in the last election. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump214's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Ump214 is ranked 111,046th in the world and 1,526th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 355.71892511752 days.
