Ump252

Population4.745 billion

The United States of Ump252 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, avowedly heterosexual populace, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.745 billion Ump252ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump252ian economy, worth 912 trillion Yen 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. 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 192,352 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, the overhead luggage compartment is often full, politicians have tenure, and homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump252's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump252 is ranked 252,310th in the world and 9,532nd in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 15,965.29 Standard Monetary Units.
