The Empire of Ump461 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.765 billion Ump461ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump461ian economy, worth 913 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, 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 impressive 191,655 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished. 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 278,737^th in the world and 10,506^th in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.94 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
