The Empire of Ump461 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.561 billion Ump461ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Ump461ian economy, worth 843 trillion Dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 185,008 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
A cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, the daily weather forecast often predicts light showers of debris, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump461's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ump461 is ranked 111,281st in the world and 1,475th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 355.69305013408 days.
