The People's Republic of Ump166 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.835 billion Ump166ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump166ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,001 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 207,045 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, and terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump166's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump166 is ranked 261,376th in the world and 9,102nd in Osiris for Most Primitive, scoring -195.87 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
