The Holy Empire of Ump111 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.849 billion Ump111ians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump111ian economy, worth 917 trillion Pesos 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, Furniture Restoration, 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 189,240 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, the Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism, and endangered species are effective hostages against the Ump111ian military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump111's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump111 is ranked 8,155th in the world and 620th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 173.45 kickbacks per hour.
