The Principality of Ump445 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.537 billion Ump445ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 75.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Ump445ian economy, worth 862 trillion Dollars 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, 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 190,036 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, and hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump445's national animal is the Giraffe, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Ump445 is ranked 111,265th in the world and 1,459th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 355.69475846632 days.
