The Matriarchy of Ump420 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.697 billion Ump420ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump420ian economy, worth 947 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 amazing 201,626 Platinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, people's charity begins and ends at home, and old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump420's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump420 is ranked 18,513^th in the world and 1,242^nd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
