The Fiefdom of Ump380 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, disturbing lack of elderly people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.607 billion Ump380ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 77.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump380ian economy, worth 895 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,436 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Ump380ian politicians, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, and a murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump380's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump380 is ranked 111,213th in the world and 1,437th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 355.7016126286 days.
