The People's Republic of Ump438 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.543 billion Ump438ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 60.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Ump438ian economy, worth 915 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 201,605 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.
Torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', and road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump438's national animal is the Giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ump438 is ranked 111,258th in the world and 1,600th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 355.69541818812 days.
