The Democratic States of Ump371 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 4.745 billion Ump371ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 67.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump371ian economy, worth 931 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 196,320 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, and legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump371's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump371 is ranked 24,412^th in the world and 1,535^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,223.5 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
