The Queendom of Ump290 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, enslaved workforce, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.635 billion Ump290ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 74.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump290ian economy, worth 841 trillion Yen a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,626 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, the government is spending billions of taxpayer Yen to support "struggling" industries, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump290's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ump290 is ranked 110,986th in the world and 1,418th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 356.71179948208 days.
