The Nomadic Peoples of Ump253 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.623 billion Ump253ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump253ian economy, worth 852 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,360 Yen, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins, crime is on the rise as online youths compete to vlog the most shocking scenes of violence, unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump253's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ump253 is ranked 111,071st in the world and 1,402nd in Balder for Most Stationary, with 355.7150153978 days.
