The Holy Empire of Ump471 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.615 billion Ump471ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 77.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Ump471ian economy, worth 891 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 193,102 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
Hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments, the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Ump471ian democracy, boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, and criticism of Leader is considered unpatriotic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump471's national animal is the Giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ump471 is ranked 111,304th in the world and 1,608th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 355.69191124592 days.
