The People's Republic of Ump63 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, unlimited-speed roads, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.487 billion Ump63ians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Ump63ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,455 trillion Monies 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 amazing 224,379 Monies, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.
Criticism of Leader is considered unpatriotic, tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult', back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation, and the sun rises an hour later on border communities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump63's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ump63 is ranked 28,821st in the world and 1,530th in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,135.67 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
