The Protectorate of Ump278 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.713 billion Ump278ians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ump278ian economy, worth 836 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 177,468 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, in court almost every witness is a hostile witness, and golden statues of Wolves line the memorial avenues of the Funerary District. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump278's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ump278 is ranked 10,054th in the world and 586th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101 law-abiding acts per hour.
