The Constitutional Monarchy of Ump292 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, soft-spoken computers, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.718 billion Ump292ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ump292ian economy, worth 952 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 a large, well-organized, 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 201,941 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', Ump292ian tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, and the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump292's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ump292 is ranked 89,303rd in the world and 3,985th in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,716.82 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
