The Dictatorship of Ump306 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, smutty television, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.672 billion Ump306ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump306ian economy, worth 861 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,320 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, gun ownership is compulsory, teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, and maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump306's national animal is the Giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump306 is ranked 8,072nd in the world and 452nd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 105.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
