The Fiefdom of Ump157 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.758 billion Ump157ians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump157ian economy, worth 953 trillion Dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 200,451 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, third world countries are rich in "I Love Ump157 City" t-shirts, and builders across Ump157 are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump157's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump157 is ranked 378^th in the world and 16^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 106.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
