The Queendom of Ump325 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.757 billion Ump325ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ump325ian economy, worth 880 trillion Platinums 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 185,041 Platinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Ump325ians, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and they who do not work shall not eat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump325's national animal is the Black Widow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ump325 is ranked 275,332nd in the world and 10,120th in Osiris for Most Beautiful Environments, with 7.82 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
